A member asked:

Can a thyroid cyst, thyroiditis or goiter cause food or pills to get stuck in the throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Goiter - yes: Due to the size of a thyroid goiter, it can compress the esophagus. This can increase the chance of causing pills and food to become stuck. A simple thyroid cyst or classic thyroiditis should not cause this symptom.
