Get checked: Most of the time, the goiter itself does not cause symptoms. However, it could potentially cause problems with swallowing, breathing, coughing, hoarseness or tightness of the throat. There have been some case reports of goiter causing sleep apnea. How large is your thyroid? Recommend medical evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms.
