Nodules pressing on windpipe

[Lavender03]

I have a 3cm nodule and 1.2cm nodule. I find I’m breathing really heavy. Does anyone think it’s because it’s pressure on my windpipe?

I feel really unwell also.

Or you could be experiencing other hypothyroid symptoms. A choking feeling is a common, but under recognized, symptom of low cellular T3.

Labs should include TSH T3, T4 and rT3 at minimum.

Do you have trouble swallowing? Or feel that there's a constant lump in your throat? If so, it is pressing on your eosophagus.

My thyroid readings are all in range.

I have constant throat problems but they are higher than where the nodules are. My neck is so uncomfortable. Doctors say I’m imagining it all.

[greygoose in reply to Lavender03]

Doctors would! That's how they cover up their ignorance, by blaming the patient.

Just having results 'in-range' is meaningless. Do you have the actual numbers: results and ranges? If so, post them here and let's have a look.

Yes possibly I had to have my thyroid removed as my nodule was causing my trachea to move out of line and, therefore, breathing was difficult too.

If your trachea was out of sync someone should have explained this.

Before I had my thyroid removed I wasn't experiencing any symptoms apart from the breathing I wasn't on any medication and my TSH was only 1.2
