Brief Answer:
Cimetidine is used for Acidity

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
May I know where exactly are the small spots present ??
Magicul ( cimetidine) is used for acidity, not for hypothyroidism.
What did your last thyroid blood work reports show? Do you have a copy of it?
Regards

I havent a copy of blood reports,but at the Drs last week saw reports on screen of the parathyroid showing small nodules on each four. Obviously there is some mistake. It seems there is a mistake somewhere unless Dr prescribed it and I misunderstood the purpose!! I already take Nexium 40g a day, Blood Pressure, Lyrica Panadol and have pain patch. It seems I should be referred to an Endocrinologist. Thank you for your time XXXX XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Need endocrine evaluation for parathyroid adenoma

Detailed Answer:
Parathyroid nodules especially multiple nodules could be due to Multiple endocrine neoplasia. Your calcium and PTH ( parathyroid hormone) levels need to be checked. And i totally agree with your doctor. You need an endocrine evaluation.
