10 Goiter Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Swollen Neck Veins
One of the more visible symptoms of a goiter is swelling in the neck veins. The veins in the neck, such as the jugular, can become quite enlarged. Many people find this to be unsightly. This usually occurs in addition to some of the other symptoms, such as swelling.
This can occur if the goiter presses upon one or more of the veins in the neck, making it more difficult for blood to travel through the area. This can enlarge the blood vessel.
