Is Hashimoto related with stomach problems? like gagging , nauseas and also anxiety?

[Dani119]

I have Hashimoto. My Doc just sent me the studies. I have 2228 super elevated. She says that I should not treat it yet because my Thyroid is normal. Is this correct?
My sister has it too, her Thyroid is normal too but she lives in Argentina and she is being treated with T4. Who is right ?? american docs? or Argentinian's?

I have being fighting for so long with nauseas, vomit some times, a lot of gagging which becomes worse when I have some kind of stress or even when I am very happy for some reason or upset too. I also have a very bad nauseous cough. I feel a mucous behind my throat too. I dont know what else to do. I have an endoscpy on thursday. I hope they find a solution.

I went to an endocrinologyst because I am thinking that my symptoms are chemicals.

Anyway, what should I do with a Hashimoto 2228 and a "normal Thyroid function"?

Thanks

The stomach symptoms are likely reflux (bad heartburn).

It really depends on the TSH level -- if it is borderline high (? >3) - then T4 is often used.  But sometimes with high antibodies, the thyroid can be borderline overactive (ie lowish TSH) and adding T4 may be inappropriate.

Hi Doc,
I m also suffering a similar problem as mentioned by Daniela.
I had undergone a endoscopy, but seemed normal.
My doctor has not advised me a thyroid test yet , but given me Pantodac. I dont have heartburn.
Is the thyroid problem related to stomach upsets ?
Please advise.

Thank you so much for your help! I will check my TSH level and see if it is borderline high or borderline overactive. However I dont have heartburn. Only a lot of gagging, nauseas and vomit. Also a lot of burping.

Thank you again,

Daniela
