Does a slightly swollen thyroid automatically mean you have a goiter?
is the swollen thyroid the reason it feels like there is a popcorn kernel stuck in my throat? as well as tightness and breathing problems?
can your thyroid swell from a headcold? or a virus?

Any bump should be checked.. you thyroid sits at the bottom of your Adams apple..Dawn
yes... a goiter simplye means an enlarged thyroid.
a swollen thyroid COULD be the reason you feel like you have something stuck in your throat, but it is not necessarily the reason.
your thyroid can swell from a virus or cold... this is called subacute thyroiditis and is very unusual and usually very painful.
Don't know about the ears... I have the same thing and have for years and now that my thyroid is gone, I still have it.
It is more common for women to have thyroid issues than men, but certainly not rare for people in general to have thyroid dysfunction. Are you consulting a dr?

oh and i'm 24 years old, male. would it be rare for someone like me to have a swollen thyroid, or a thyroid problem in general?
oh, also, I feel like i always have to pop my ears, and they do feel kind of plugged, but I don't have trouble hearing, does this have to do with my thyroid?
today, I had the worst breathing problems, I was tempted to use a friends inhaler, but was afraid that might not be a good idea?
