Reason 3: Enlarged thyroid (goiter)
If you feel like your throat is tight, and this is the reason why you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, it may be high time for you to visit your doctor and get your thyroid checked. The thyroid gland in our necks is responsible for controlling and producing hormones that aid in the control of the body’s metabolism. When it starts to grow in size suddenly, or there are other issues with it, the swelling and tightness in your throat may be the first signs that something is wrong.
Alongside those, the first symptoms of an enlarged thyroid also include coughing and sudden changes in your voice. If you suspect such issues, you should book an appointment with your doctor, as it can lead to other medical issues over time.
