I forgot to mention with the swollen thyroids i have trouble breathing, swallowing and when i bend over or lean over i feel like something is blocking?

Surgery: Shortness of breath and trouble swallowing are indications of need for surgical intervention. See an otolaryngologist that performs thyroid surgery or an endocrinologist to evaluate you and make the appropriate referral.
