Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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
