Hi, your symptoms point to a hyper secretion from the thyroid gland. A nodule in thyroid can be non-secretary or hyper-secretary. Please get your thyroid profile done and if it is increased, the treatment can be in the form of anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine ablation or surgical excision after attaining euthyroid status. Regards
