Hi..I am new to this site. I have had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis for several years (am 42 yrs old)...taking 0.1mg of Synthroid daily. My TSH level is 0.07. Over the past month or so, I have had a problem with choking on food and waking from sleep choking/gagging. I saw the doctor today, and he could tell by looking at my neck that my thyroid was swollen, but its not something that is noticable unless you are really looking for it. My neck is also very tender to the touch. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next week, but in the meantime I have been surfing the web finding the worst possible diagnoses! Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? If the ultrasound comes back normal, and my TSH is already normal, what can be done to make the swelling and choking go away? My other thyroid symptoms are fatigue, always cold, and mild depression.
