Please correlate with ultrasound and thyroid tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
In thin people, the thyroid gland might appear big.

I suggest you to please send me thyroid ultrasound scan report details if you have got it done or get a ultrasound scan of thyroid done for confirmation.

It is also important to get thyroid function tests done and discuss any abnormal thyroid hormones.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
