What Are Thyroid Nodules?
3. Standard Symptoms
In most cases, patients with thyroid nodules will experience no symptoms. The nodules can grow particularly large in some cases, however, and this is when symptoms will start. When these symptoms do show, they can often be felt when putting just a little pressure on the area.
In addition to being able to feel them, it will also sometimes be possible to see the nodules causing lumps in the surface of the neck. The lumps can also press against the oesophagus or windpipe, and this can make it difficult for the patient to swallow. It can also cause them to be out of breath.
