   Hi...it may not be the thyroid disorder but a change in weight...a change be it a increase in weight or a loss can cause heart burn and reflux symptoms.

Many meds may cause this too!

  The vagus nerve is sometimes affected and may cause an increase of PND, which could be the culprit.....

And stress just knowing u have a condition  that may need constant monitoring may be the reason as well.

   Have u talked to ur Dr?
