10 Goiter Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Difficulty Swallowing
If a goiter becomes large enough, it can cause problems in the throat area. By pushing on the esophagus, goiters can make it more difficult to swallow.
Fortunately, a goiter will rarely become so large that it will make it impossible to swallow. However, they can certainly make it uncomfortable to swallow large portions of food or drink. One of the best ways to work around this is to chew smaller portions and take smaller sips; however, sometimes swallowing can be unpleasant regardless.
