Where do you feel your strangling feeling with Hashimoto's?

[huscopp]

If you have a strangling feeling in your throat due to Hashimoto's or a thyroid issue, where do you feel it? Do you only feel pressure down low in your throat (where a t-shirt would touch)?  Or do you feel pressure around the middle of your neck or under your chin?  Do you ever feel chin numbness?

Thanks!

Yes I do,  I thought it was just me.  It feels like someone has there hands around my neck cutting off my air supply.  I told my doc this and he lowered my synthroid, not sure if this was the right thing ro do and having second thoughts. I boosted it back up myself this am due to joint pain returning.

i like to sleep on my stomach.  when i have thyroid issues, i can't have the pillow touch my neck because it feels strange.  i therefore sleep on my stomach without a pillow.

i feel the most discomfort at my adam's apple.
