How To Treat Lump On Neck And Hot Flashes When Diagnosed With Hyperthyroidism?
I have a lump on the right side of my neck that aches off and on throughout the day, I have hoshimotos disease and right now my body is in hyperthyroidism. I saw my endocrinologist on Tuesday for my normal checkup and when I told her I was feeling exhausted and have a lump on my neck she had me get checked for mono which came back negative. I have sinus congestion and headaches right now and not sure if that is causing my neck to ache wear the small lump is. When I hit pain or discomfort in the neck on the symptoms checker it said to go to the ER. Not sure if I need to go or if it is all just part of my annoying thyroid issues that I have. Currently I have horrible hot flashes as well but I know that is because I am in the hyperthyroidism phase right now.
Hyperthyroidism can cause hot flashes as well as it can make one anxious.Your endocrinologist will put you on antithyroid medications which includes beta blocker drugs which will help in your thyroid issue as well as in hot flashes and anxiety issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
