Based on the symptoms described, the most likely diagnosis is E. De Quervain thyroiditis. De Quervain thyroiditis is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland that typically presents with symptoms such as fatigue, muscle aches, neck pain, and a smooth enlarged thyroid. The elevated heart rate and blood pressure can be a result of the inflammation. Hashimoto thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that typically presents with a painless, diffusely enlarged thyroid. Pharyngitis is an infection of the throat and would not cause an enlarged thyroid. Riedel thyroiditis is a rare condition characterized by a hard, fixed, and painless thyroid. Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital abnormality that presents as a painless midline neck mass.
