I was diagnosed with a multinodular goiter three years ago and now it's gotten bigger I'm having trouble swallowing. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I've also gained weight because of hypothyroidism and I'm worried about how this is affecting me. What are my options?

I'm a bit concerned after getting my package test results from Thyrocare. It seems like my lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels are pretty high, and my CBC impression mentioned something about being hypochromic. I'm not really sure who I should reach out to for guidance on this. Could you point me in the right direction?

You should consult a General Physician for further evaluation and management of your high lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels, as well as the hypochromic impression on your CBC. For high lipoprotein levels, you may be prescribed statins like Atorvastatin (10-20 mg) to lower cholesterol levels. For high C-reactive protein levels, you may be prescribed NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (400-800 mg) to reduce inflammation. For hypochromic CBC findings, you may be prescribed iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) to treat iron deficiency anemia.
