Generally not: But anything is possible. Hopefully, you have discussed a thyroid biopsy with your doctor and have obtained the appropriate lab testing and ultrasound.

Unlikely: 1.5 cm nodules often are not big enough to cause compressive symptoms. I would look into another diagnosis, like acid reflux. A good ENT visit will be worthwhile. Also make sure that nodules is followed up on. Gold standard is us guided biopsy.
