Your Neck is Swollen
A swollen neck should never be ignored. If you notice that your neck is swelling in the front it may be a goiter, which is indicative of Graves’ disease, an overactive thyroid condition.
When you have a goiter, your doctor will run tests to check your levels of thyroid hormone. In addition, you may be prescribed further tests such as diagnostic imaging or a biopsy. Treating the goiter will be dependent on the results of your test and can range from no treatment required to surgery and radioactive iodine treatment.
