As far as my heart goes I am doing pretty good most of the time. I still feel off kilter at times. I have another Cardiologist appointment next Monday.
The end of April my cardiologist noticed that my thyroid was enlarged on the right side. He ordered an ultrasound that I had last Friday. It shows that I have numerous nodules in my thyroid. They want the largest one on the right to have a fine needle aspiration. The nodule is cystic (fluid) and solid .
Suddenly having health issues in the last 5 months is a bit of an out of body experience for me. I find myself a bit stressed at times , but feel blessed that I have God, family and friends to lean on.
I appreciate my friends here. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I am trying to spend some time here, but not able to be here so much.

I'm glad you're keeping us updated. I hope the thyroid is the last of it.

@Shiva49 I feel blessed that this happened when I was older. Won’t have any answers until later this month. I am glad that you are doing well.

@Tampa_girl7 Yes, a portion of it.
The issue returned after five years and I took radioactive iodine.
Now I take Thyroxine tablet everyday.

I hope your health continues to improve and you have no more issues. Sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers and that the aspiration will solve the thyroid nodule
