Palpitations and syncope

Question

Asked for Male, 36 Years

My brother has debilitating palpitations and syncope when lying down. His chest CT shows a "hypodense nodule" and a mildly enlarged right thyroid. Can that be the reason for the above mentioned symptoms ? Is it possible that the nodule is not responsible for the apparent hyperthyroidism ?
