Hi, I'm trying to keep calm about this but my health anxiety is driving me crazy!
3 years ago I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid, had a PET scan, blood tests etc and was put on treatment, which luckily worked and I was discharged after a year and a half. No more thyroid symptoms. However, I've somehow become very aware of what seems like a pointy adams apple that may have always been there and I'd never noticed, but now I'm driving myself crazy thinking it could be something serious and scary! I've booked a Dr's appt for next week to get her to run some thyroid bloods and check me out but I'm freaking out.
I know it sounds crazy but does anyone else know of women with really pointy prominent adams apples? Or does anyone know if this can be due to my prior hyperthyroidism and it's remained large and I've just never paid it attention before? My family are convinced I've always had it but I'm doing my usual panic :( thanks so much x
