Losing energy f******

Actually, I am looking for some interpretation that I think the guys on here have.
I just had a ULTRASOUND of my thyroid. The speed that I was communicated of the results has me very concerned. They found a 3-4 cm lesión on my thyroid. I was notified within an hour of having the ultrasound accomplished and my Dr highly recommended that I see an endocrinologist. Any thoughts????
I have my own, but I don’t like them. LOL

I can't offer much, Charger. My wife has thyroid issues and her ultrasound came back with images they had trouble reading. She was referred to and endo.
They did a second ultrasound and got clear imaging of a cyst. The endo did a FNA ( fine needle aspiration) and biopsied the sample. Her results were nonmalignant and that's where she's at now. She does take a healthy dose of Synthroid ....225 mcg.

No idea if that's relevant to your situation.

Thanks. You always have some experience or knowledge!!

I would think so but not sure.

Edit. I can’t find any private labs that offer it.

Cigarette smoking should be ruled out because it is the most common cause of secondary polycythemia. Carbon monoxide and high altitude exposure are other causes of hypoxia. A decrease in arterial oxygen saturation is diagnostic of hypoxic polycythemia. A partial arterial oxygen pressure of >67 mm Hg or an oxygen saturation of >95% on arterial blood gas results rules out hypoxia as a cause of polycythemia. If these etiologies are ruled out, patients should be worked up for underlying cardiopulmonary diseases, including obstructive sleep apnea. Approximately 5 to 10% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea have polycythemia.

Less common causes of secondary polycythemia include exogenous administration of recombinant EPO for blood doping, exogenous androgen administration and anabolic steroid use

Thanks for the info. I am sure I have it now lol

I try to help when I can, Charger. It isn't often I can contribute, but when I can I enjoy helping.

I thought that is what I’m supposed to do. I wanted to take advantage of Dr Cape before he disappeared again. LOL
