I'm 20 years old and go to college, I'm in my second year. Last April, I started to feel extremely tired all the time, the second I would sit down on a bed or couch I would fall asleep. I also ate all the time, but I lost 10 pounds. I went from 141, to 131, I'm 5'7" I figured I was just tired from exams and by the time I was done I'd feel better. But I went home for the summer and kept the weight off while eating all the time and stay extremely tired still. I was sick once with a flu and had to go to the hospital and had a follow up with my doctor and I found out I have tachycardia. At the same time I found out I have multiple goiters on my thyroid. We did blood tests and an ultrasound for that. I thought for sure my thyroid would be over active but the hormones were completely normal. But I asked my doctor why I would still be soo tired and losing weight. She thought my thyroid was once inflamed and I had a rush of hormones that made me lose the weight and feel so tired. She has referred me to an endocrinologist. It's now August and I still don't have an appt. I realize it takes a long time to get one, but she said it could take two years to get in to this one because I'm not high on the priority list. She said I could get in to one in the city a little quicker if I wanted too. I still have these symptoms where I am excessively tired even when I sleep 10-11 hours at night, and have had them all summer. I eat all the time and don't gain back my weight. I'm actually getting really sick of being so tired all the time. People are telling me lately how tired I look and I am, but I don't want to look that way. Is it normal for me to have goiters at only 20? and would it be a good idea to see an endocrinologist sooner than 2 years? Do goiters grow indefinitely? Thanks so much.
