Good luck with ur FNA....I can not go against ur dr as I am not that well versed on thyroid issues, but stella, 898, and many of the other members in the thyroid forum may be able to answer u.

Please post an update on ur proceedure.
Godspeed

Hi...and welcome to the GERD forum.

I wish I knew for sure, drs may say a certain size may be the normal, but we are all different and will notice it at diff stages.So IMHO I do not think there can be an answer to that.U know u feel a tightness and u have the nodules.....did u have a FNA?
I was told mine were too small for that and I get the tightness also...it comes and goes tho.

May I ask what do u ENDO dr say?...DO u have Hashimoto's thyroiditis?
U may want to look into the thyroid forum here on MedHelp also and see if they may be able to assist you.

HI, as I mentioned it is possible it is a gerd issue and it could be thyroid.U really need to see a dr to get a dx so u can start treatment.
