» alibaba25 - Thyroid nodule in hashimoto's thyroiditis

Hi, I have been feeling so ill for months now, firstly had bloods that revealed subclinical hypo,(tsh 5.5) was tested again a few months later to find TSH was now 2.5 (but still had 10lb to lose, still had extream cold spells etc etc. To make the discussion brief I now have a tsh of 4 and have been getting pain on swallowing, and talking and in the neck that comes and goes, heart palps, periods of anger, no sex drive, swollen hands feet and numbness in my lips, fingers. I when back to my doctor and finally he sent me to my ENT specialist to look at my neck, he found right thyroid lobe enlargement, and a nodule. I should be having a thyroid scan to see if this is anything more. But I don't understand if this is normal to be hypo and have hyper symptoms, and if anyone has had a similar experience as im worried i might be miss diagnosed, or is there anything more I should keep in mind. Thanks Ali
