Have Multinodular Goiter, Sleep Apnea, Short Term Memory Loss And Swallowing Difficulty. Related?

Thanks for posting your query.
The removal of a multinodular goiter is likely to improve the pressure symptoms you are having like difficulty in swallowing, breathing, etc. It can also help with your sleep apnoea to some extent.
The short term memory loss is not associated with the thyroid nodules. Removal of the thyroid is not likely to have any affect on the dementia. Such dementia is usually seen due to age related degenerative changes in the cerebrum. There are many brain activities like quizzes, word puzzles, regular exercise, adequate sleep, etc which help considerably in reducing any further deterioration.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
