Thyroid Conditions

When neck swelling, fatigue, or voice changes point to a deeper hormonal cause

Feeling Tired, Swollen in the Neck, or Hoarse?

Your Thyroid May Be Involved.

Dr. Peerbaccus helps detect and monitor thyroid nodules, goitre, and related ENT symptoms — working with endocrinologists when needed for comprehensive care.

What Is the Thyroid?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the lower front of your neck. It plays a vital role in regulating:

Metabolism
Body temperature
Energy levels
Weight
Heart rate

When it’s not functioning properly or becomes enlarged, symptoms can show up in the voice, swallowing, and appearance of the neck.

When to Suspect a Thyroid Problem

Noticeable swelling or lump in the neck
Feeling of a “tight collar” or pressure when swallowing
Persistent hoarseness or voice change
Fatigue, weight changes, or cold sensitivity
Difficulty breathing when lying flat
Family history of thyroid disease

Neck palpation and visual assessment
Flexible endoscopy to check for airway or vocal cord impact
