A member asked:

If your thyroid is enlarged can you feel it pressing into your windpipe? are there meds to shrink it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious-get exam: goiter ( an enlarged thyroid gland ) can possibly compress your trachea. You need both a thyroid ultrasound, thyroid/CTor nuclear scan and thyroid function studies. Never ignore these symptoms. Please consult a physician ASAP.
