What r the symptoms and treatment possiblities for goiter and thyroid problems?

In most cases thyroid medication. Medication can often help to shrink the goiter. There are many types of thyrod meds. There are some that are T4 like Synthroid & Levoxyl. There are some that are T3 like Cytomel. Then there are some that are both T4 & T3 like Armour, Naturethroid, and Thyrolar. I've tried T4 alone, I've tried T4 with Cytomel, and finally I'm on Armour. I feel the best on Armour.

Symptoms of being hypothyroid may be as follows; goiter, weight gain, difficulty losing weight with diet & exercise, IBS with constipation, dry skin, dry thinning hair, fatigue, depression, muscle & joint aches, low body temp, slow heart rate, low bp, sensitivity to light, thinning eyebrows, fertility problems, sleep apnea, and ridged fingernails with no moons.

Below are some thyroid websites

With thyroid problems you get swelling in the glads of your neck the thyroid itself or glands around it. My wife had problems caused by stress which huge lumps either side of her thyroid but these were just bloated with blood and after draining they went away. You can also get changes in body activity if you have hyper or hypo thyroid ism. So that makes you either too thin or too fat depending on what your problem is. My brother had various drug treatments and in the end had a radioactive therapy which did the trick and thankfully he has been okay since.
