Endocrinologist,  's  Response
First of all, it's worthy to mention about your menstrual cycles. Your age points towards the possibility of perimenopausal hot flushes. Definitely you can do thyroid function test as there is a likelihood of graves as you have a strong family history. Check thyroid function and FSH. Nodule should be evaluate using Ultrasound thyroid and FNAC if indicated.
