Get seen: Your personal physician can screen Yu for serious disease including thyroid disease. He/she can also help with any impossible life situations in which you may be. This sounds like anxiety and its somatic expression. Cognitive behavioral therapy may be the answer to getting back in control. Cancer never presents like this.
