Three doctors (the radiologist who looked at my ultrasound, the PA who told me the diagnosis, and my brother-in-law) told me that my multinodular goiter isn't causing my breathing problems. Except I've been having labored breathing (like through a straw) for a month now. It gets worse in the late afternoon/evening.
Sometimes, I have a feeling like someone is gently choking me around my neck and, for the past 2 days, my shirt collars feel too tight. If the nodules are so small, why am I having these symptoms? Can this type of goiter shrink and swell the thyroid itself?
My TSH levels are normal and I don't really have any symptoms of either hyper or hypothyroidism.
