Does this look like a goitre to you?

I took a selfie tonight to send to my Mum and was shocked to notice my neck looking a wierd shape. She has low thyroid and has a noticeable bump at the front of her neck and it felt like mine looked similar. Here's another photo taken with no clothes or jewellery - does it look goitrish to you or is it my imagination and I'm just fat? My neck does feel kind of heavy when I lie down, again could just be fat! I do have dry skin, am overweight, but no gravelly voice and I'm often hot not cold (menopausal). Will GO laugh at me if I ask for a blood test?

It doesn't look like the goitre I had but it grew overtime. Best to get your GP to check

It's hard to tell. I have a large one but it doesn't really show tbh..but you can feel it without question. Your GP will have a quick check & tell you for certain. Good luck, OP x
