Suggest Treatment For Swollen Tongue And Cyst In The Pituitary Stalk

yes, am 67 yo female, I have been experiencing a swollen tongue for several weeks, is getting bigger. Have difficulty talking. Food tastes terrible, and there is a burning sensation also. Have a monoclonal protein that is being watched, also have had thyroid nodules(benign), also a cyst on pituitary stalk. Any thoughts on who to consult?
