A member asked:

Do you know if i might need surgery to remove the thyroid cyst since it gives me trouble swallowing and fast heart rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Endocrinologist: See an Endocrinologist before you see a surgeon. If you are hyperthyroid (explaining the fast heart rate), that needs to be treated, and not necessarily by surgery. How big is the cyst? If small, it may be of no concern, and the thyroid cyst may have nothing to do with your swallowing.
