See your doctor.: although not likely to be due to thyroid malignancy, the combination of weight loss and dysphagia, whether of solids or liquids, is concerning and needs to be evaluated promptly. I would see your doctor for further testing. Good luck.

Need more info: Thyroid tumors may be asymptomatic, show a lump in the neck and may cause difficulty in voice and swallowing. Thyroid malignancies are not that common and it is likely that there is some other explanation for your weight loss. It would be prudent to have an in-person visit with a doctor.
