What Are The Symptoms Of Goiter?
I have levothyroxine 100mg, but dosages are listed here as e.g. 25 mcg, etc., all in mcg. Also, I had been taking 165mg of Armour thyroid. Also, the past week I have been feeling like something is in my throat; am I developing a goiter? Thx. YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Not all goiters cause signs and symptoms. When signs and symptoms do occur they may include:
1. A visible swelling at the base of your neck that may be particularly obvious when you shave or put on makeup
2. A tight feeling in your throat
3. Coughing
4. Hoarseness
5. Difficulty swallowing
6. Difficulty breathing
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
