A member asked:
I have hashimotos disease with a slightly enlarged thyroid. i've been noticing that it's becoming harder to swallow, but it's not getting bigger. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysphagia : Swallowing difficulties can be due to a lot of things. I would not just assume that it is your thyroid causing your problem. You should be seen by an ENT doctor to obtain a complete history, physical, fiber-optic laryngoscopy, and other indicated studies to assess your swallowing difficulty.
