My test
I took my thyroid scan yesterday. I just swallowed a capsule of some substance and left. Then came back 6 hrs later to be scanned. I had no restrictions or nothing. I could eat whatever I wanted or take any medication that I wanted. I did not feel good all day yesterday. I just couldn't stay up, all I wanted to do was sleep. And I just did not feel right all day. I felt something pop in my neck just before my scan and it felt like it went down my throat. It was the weirdest thing. Then it felt like I could breath better. It was so weird. But the technician didn't think anything of it. My doctors office called me later to set me up with my appt with a endocrinologist. I go May 6th. I still worry about the thing that popped and moved down my throat yesterday. I will ask that doctor May 6th about it. Also want to ask about if I was supposed to have salt before my test. I happened to have a bunch of iodized salt in the days before my scan. So just waiting for my test results from my doctor.

Hmm, 6 hour scan period sounds strange, as usually the second scan takes place after 24 hour period. The 6 hour period has little clinical significance.
Again if the T4 thyroid hormone levels are normal or low, most likely there will be no hot nodules. I cannot comment on what caused the popping sound can be unrelated to the thyroid[can even be abscess inside the throat]
Thanks for the update! Glad you're breathing easier too. We continue to pray! Aunt Di
