Can Aspiration Of Thyroid Gland Nodule Relieve The Choking Sensation And Nausea?

Hi. My wife has had a feeling that something is stuck in her throat which is giving her gagging problem which is leading to nausea the entire day. We have had a ultrasound done on her thyroid gland and it was found that she has a nodule of 2.2mm which needs to be aspirated. The question is why is she feeling constantly nauseous? Will the aspiration of the nodule help with nausea and gagging? We have also done investigation on acid reflux and it s all clear. She is NOT pregnant.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM

Aspiration from thyroid nodule is for further diagnosis about the nature of the nodule. This aspiration is not going to relieve any symptoms as it's only for investigation. Regarding nausea you have not mentioned the duration any other associated symptoms, if any. However it will need physical examination and some investigations to come a definitive diagnosis about the cause of this nausea.

Hope this helped. Do let us know.
