I had severe problems with swallowing... I have hyperthyroidism.
My taking tapazole for 2 weeks cleared that issue up... I used to swallow really loud.. People could hear me struggling to swallow liquids...

I think you should see a doctor. Walmart has many thyroid medications for only $4.00 now.

If you go on to the website, they have plenty of ways for you to get help. There should be even a help place around you that can help you. I would even call your doctor, because even mine will give me samples. Good luck!

if you have nodules in the thyroid stopping medication can cause them to grow.
