Needs to evaluate: Yes, a growing nodule that has become symtomatic should be evaluated further. The thyroid test tell you that the thyroid is functioning okay but a large nodule can compress local organs causing other symptoms. Speak with your doctor who can order other imaging studies to evaluate how the nodule is affecting nearby anatomy.

Get eval!: Thyroid can get large enough to obstruct airway. Get checked asap! the more obstructed you are, the more difficult it is for your anesthesiologist to perform life-saving intubation. Ct usually good choice to evaluate.
