Symptoms of NODULAR GOITER
Nodular goiter usually produces multiple lumps within the thyroid gland. The gland, itself, is enlarged and often forms a mass in the front of the neck. Serious enlargement of the gland can lead to difficulties with breathing and with swallowing. Various functional states can be associated with nodular goiter, including normal thyroid levels, elevated thyroid levels and reduced thyroid levels. Hyperthyroidism produces anxiety, palpitations, sweating, weight loss and cold intolerance. Hypothyroidism produces fatigue, slow pulse, heat intolerance and weight gain.
