Hello. It seems your thyroid gland is getting enlarged, probably due to underlying goiter or thyroid nodules. That is causing increasing hypothyroidism leading too lethargy and exhaustion. Do a full thyroid profile (TSH, free t3, free T4) and USG of thyroid gland, and follow up with me. Hope this helps.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Probably swelling of thyroid due to goitre. But more info needed. Get a ultrasound of it done and consult a general physician along with the reports for further evaluation and management.
Do not ignore this as it tends to increase only and not decrease.
Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
