Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If breathing difficulty is because of the enlarged thyroid gland, then thyroid gland needs to be removed. Check serum TSH, free T4 estimation and X-ray for further work up. So, you should consult a general surgeon or otorhinolaryngologist for examination and if the needed operative intervention can be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
