Thyroid nodule of 1 cm and more should should undergo FNAC. Hyperthyroidism is managed not just according to the symptoms, but as per the biochemical evidence too. Parathyroid adenoma is something associated with hypercalcemia. Did you undergo surgery for that?. Hyperthyroidism is best managed with drugs or radio iodine ablation.
