                        I had a goiter 2 yrs. ago.  They removed it and I feel like a different person.  But, to your question I also felt like there was something in my throat.  My experience was more at night when I laid down to go to sleep. My drs. told me it was the pressure from the goiter.  My goiter was really huge.  About the cycles I am not really sure about that.  But good luck anyway.
