Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Your all symptoms like weight gain, weakness, tiredness, hair trouble, skin issues, slow heart rate etc are suggestive of hypothyroidism.
And lump can be due to either small colloid goiter or thyroid nodule.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Ultrasound examination of neck
2. Thyroid function test (TSH, Free T3 and Free T4).
You will mostly have hypothyroidism and treatment is daily thyroxine tablet according to thyroid function test report.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
I find this answer helpful
