Question
  1. What subjective symptoms would you ask about to evaluate for possible hyperthyroidism?
  2.  What subjective symptoms would you ask about to evaluate for possible hypothyroidism?
A 27-year-old woman with no significant past medical or surgical history presents for evaluation after her gynecologist discovered a palpable mass in the right anterior neck and was told to follow up with her PCP. The patient was previously unaware of the mass and has not experienced neck pain, dysphagia, hoarseness, or compressive symptoms. She is not on any medications and has NKDA. Family history is negative for thyroid carcinoma but several family members have goiters. The patient has no history of irradiation to the head or neck. Physical examination reveals an enlarged thyroid with a 2.0-cm thyroid nodule on the right that moves with swallowing. There is no palpable cervical lymphadenopathy. The rest of her exam is unremarkable.
