Can thyroid noudules cause swallowing problems?

Yes: Depending on the location on the gland and the size, they can press on the muscles of the throat or the esophagus itself.

Not likely: Unless the thyroid nodules are extremely large, you probably wouldn't notice anything, and even then you may not notice. However, if your thyroid gland itself is very large (goiter), it could cause some discomfort when swallowing (dyspagia). If you have thyroid nodules, see your primary care doc to have your thyroid evaluated.
