Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month

Symptoms of thyroid cancer include:
a lump in the front, lower part of your neck – the lump usually feels hard, slowly gets bigger and is not painful
a hoarse voice
a sore throat
difficulty swallowing or breathing
pain in the front of your neck, or a feeling like something is pressing against your neck

Other symptoms can include:
a red face (flushing) – this may be harder to see on brown or black skin
softer poos or diarrhoea
weight loss
a cough
If you have a thyroid condition, such as a goitre (swollen thyroid), you may get symptoms like these regularly.

You might find you get used to them. But it's important to be checked by a GP if your symptoms change, get worse, or do not feel normal for you.

See a GP if:
you have a lump in your neck – either a new lump or an existing lump that's getting bigger
you've had a hoarse voice, sore throat or cough for more than 3 weeks
you have pain in the front of your neck, or a feeling like something is pressing against your neck

Its Migraine Awareness Week. Migraine is a condition that causes a set of symptoms known as a migraine attack.

Migraine attacks usually last between 4 hours and 3 days, with early symptoms (such as feeling very tired) starting hours or up to 2 days before the head pain starts and finishing after the headache stops.

Some people have migraine attacks several times a week, while others do not have them as often.

Migraine attacks that happen just before or during your period are called menstrual migraines. They are often longer and more severe than migraine attacks at other times.

Most people find their migraine attacks slowly get better as they get older.

In women, migraine often gets better after the menopause and sometimes improves in pregnancy.
