The main symptom is a swollen thyroid gland. The size may range from a single small nodule to a large neck lump.

The swollen thyroid can put pressure on the windpipe and esophagus, which can lead to:

  • Breathing difficulties (may rarely occur with very large goiters)
  • Cough
  • Hoarseness
  • Swallowing difficulties

There may be neck vein swelling and dizziness when the arms are raised above the head.
