  Common signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism include heart palpitations, increased heart rate, intolerance to heat, nervousness, insomnia, breathlessness, increased bowel movements, light or absent menstrual periods, fatigue, trembling hands, weight loss [fortherecordmag.com]

  These may include weakness and fatigue, palpitations and chest pain or pressure, and changes in memory and mood. Toxic nodular goiter does not cause the bulging eyes that can occur with Graves disease. [medlineplus.gov]

  For hyperthyroidism, the most common symptoms are associated with adrenergic stimulation: tachycardia (increased heart rate), palpitations, nervousness, tremor, increased blood pressure and heat intolerance. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Neck Swelling

  Sometimes the patient seeks help for obvious neck swelling and cosmetic disfigurement of the neck. As MNG becomes palpable once the size is more than 1 centimeter, so large MNG mainly presents with neck swelling. [intechopen.com]

  On physical examination, there will be a central neck swelling that could be smooth or nodular and the mass moves with swallowing. It may deviate the trachea or extend retrosternally. [statpearls.com]

Prognosis A non-toxic goiter is a benign entity and only causes aesthetic problems. However, if the size is large, it may compress the trachea, laryngeal nerves, and the esophagus. Most benign goiters have an excellent prognosis. [statpearls.com]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Treatment depends on the underlying etiology and includes, e.g., surgery (thyroidectomy) for malignant and autonomous nodules, fine needle aspiration for thyroid cysts, and observation for small, benign nodules. [amboss.com]

Goitrous enlargement may result from various etiologies: stimulation from elevated TSH levels as seen in iodine deficiency and Hashimoto disease, TSH-receptor antibodies/agonists as in Graves disease, or unclear etiology such as in nontoxic multinodular [ime.acponline.org]

Etiology is usually unknown. Some known causes include iodine deficiency, iodine excess, goitrogen ingestion, autoimmune disorders, thyroid hormone production defects and certain medications. It is usually asymptomatic. [specialty.mims.com]
