Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It seems as through the thyroid goiter is casing pressure symptoms. If the thyroid function is not under control (you recently increased the medication), then it is best to get the goiter removed as it is also causing pressure symptoms.
Along with your endocrine specialist consult a head and neck surgeon.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Sometimes a growth can get too big on the thyroid- you should ask the doctor about having the goiter removed- if that would be best at this point with your trouble.
