Does Goiter Causes Problem In Breathing And Suffocation?

I have been having breathing problems for quite some time now but its only getting worse. I also have goiter and am not sure if that has a role in this. At times when I try to breathe I have to try really hard to get a full breath or it won t come. Also it feels like my breath gets stuck in my chest and then my chest area physically hurts alot. Any idea what s happening? This will happen at random times but will get much worse in warmer temperature.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to to be due to the gastric hyper acidity, due to irritant foods, or peptic ulcer. The other causes may be the bronchial asthma, or swollen trabiculae in the nose. But more possibilities are for gastric irritation.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.Also avoid un timely foods to avoid gastric irritation.
I advise you to consult a gastro enterologist for diagnosis and treatment, you may need to have gastroscopy and ultrasound for diagnosis.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
