Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Yes,you may go for biopsy of thyroid tissue despite having symptoms like chills,hot flashes and swallowing difficulty.

It will not create any problem in that.

However,you may take symptomatic treatment like pain killers,antacids with antihistamines which will be avialble over the counter.

So,you may go back and consult physician for further procedure.
