Flutter in throat

[IamKay]

Please can someone help me. This is slowly driving me mad.

A few months ago I started to get a flutter in my throat right where the thyroid gland is. It went away as quick as it started however it made me cough and sort of lose my breath for a second. It wasn't that often that it happened.

However for the past 2 weeks it started to happen more and more until finally it became a constant flutter in my throat. I went to hospital and had blood tests, chast x ray and ecg all came back fine and they said it could be down to reflux.

Tried to get over Christmas as best as I could but its gradually getting stronger in my throat so I saw an out of hours doctor who said my Thyroid gland looks a bit swollen so I have to see my GP today to see if he will send me for tests.
I know there is nothing in the thyroid gland to flutter but could it be that if it is swelled this flutter is just my heart beat becoming more noticable in my throat? It feels like a hollow rush of air coming up my throat or a quiver that makes me cough. Its worrying me so much.

Other symptoms have been hair loss, tiredness, nausea, palpitations, constant fast pulse, dizziness, anxiety, feeling of adrenalin in my stomach, metallic taste in mouth. The list is endless.

Please can someone put my mind at rest. I just want it to go away its ruining my life so much that my partner left me 3 days ago and I just can't cope with the fluttering any longer. I have 2 children and I'm finding it hard to cope with everything.

Hello.. Have been experiencing also a fluttering to throat that lasts like for a sec to 3 seconds.. But it makes me gasp for a little bit of air or to stoo whatever Im doing.. Have gotten a stress test.. Ekg aonogram everything... I do have hypothyroidism.. But my endocronologist states that thyroid doesbt cause that.. So Im with no answers.. And yet scared when it happens it puts me down, sad, scared.. Before it was once every month or so...then every week..now i get it several times in a day.. Dont know if i actually feel it on my stomach or its just the sensation i get and get scared...

I have an interactive thyroid and have recently started having a jumping pulsating feeling in my throat. So annoying only stops when I rest or sleep. Going for heart checks but its my throat its coming from

If you have a primary doctor you see, insistent on more tests. A nuclear heart scar, stress test, ultra sound of the heart, echo cardiogram.  Also the complete tests for Hashimotos Autoimune Disease, and yes an ENT might be a good idea. But the heart and thyroid tests need to be done.  Just insist. Tell him if he can say for certain that this is no other problem than reflux then you want the test now.

Wow, Cleveland Clinic never heard of a flutter in the throat. Could be a heart problem or a thyroid problem.

And an antibody test and reverse 3 test.

That's right about the doctors.  You should join a Hashemoto group. You need extended testing to find out your problem, not just the ones you mentioned.  I get the fluttering. Only it's very fast and strong. As you said, goes as quick as it comes. Insist on all the test you need . Research the autoimmune disease mentioned above.
