Hi
Hoarseness of voice is seen in hypothyroidism condition also.
If you are feeling a swelling near adams apple,get an ultrasound neck.It can give some clue regarding the nature of swelling,whether solid or cystic.
If a swelling is confirmed,get a Fine needle aspiration cytology test to confirm the diagnosis.
If you come back with above test results,i will clarify further
Wish you good health
