A member asked:
Would you have shortness of breath with a goitre?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally not: Unless your thyroid is overactive, which is easy for your doctor to check. A very large goiter can compress your trachea, but this is highly unlikely at your age -- it can be evaluated with a simple chest x-ray.
