How do you get a Er doctor to hear your thyroid troubles and check everything that needs to be checked, really don't want to go through Er but have no other choice to. Have no doctor or health insurance and need to be checked, throat still has swollen lymph nodes going on two months now was sick two months ago had flu& strep throat out of no where caught mono how only God knows and I had all of these at same time. Lymp nodes should be gone by now, Iam tired all the time pain shoots through my chest where my heart is& pain in my lungs if I walk to fast I get out of breath and can feel terrible pain. Been having to take asthma pump more than usual really hope nothing bad is going on, unsteady body feels like I could fall out really scary this has been going on a while. Just really need these doctors to stop looking at me as some anxiety case, if anything it is these health issues causing me to have anxiety and panic along with depression any advice will be helpful I can tell my thyroid is off just need help to get it back to a normal healthy level. So it can stop throwing everything else off, just want to feel healthy completely in every single way.

You're unlikely to get a complete work-up from the ER, as that's not what they do. The ER is intended to stabilize people until they can either be admitted (if the situation is life-threatening) or see their primary care doctor. Their training an orientation is not toward diagnosing chronic problems and providing maintenance care. Have you looked into getting insurance through the ACA? You might also contact your county health department to see if there are medical services available for uninsured indigent people in your area.

Lymph nodes can remain enlarged for six months or so after mono or other major infections, I wouldn't panic about those just yet.
