Fullness in throat

I am experiencing fullness in my throat. Kind of hard to explain. Should I stop my Armour (15mg 2x a day) to see if it's the Armour doing it? Kind of scared to stop though. I don't want to have any weird symptoms like nervousness etc. What does one do?? Worried :(

It could be either one or could be something totally unrelated.  If you have trouble swallowing or breathing, you should be sure to go to the ER, though I'm guessing it will get better.  I used to have that quite a bit, and the more I worried about it, the worse it got.

Will look forward to seeing your new labs.  Be sure to post reference ranges with the results, since ranges vary lab to lab, so have to come from your own report.

Yes I did get the tests. I will probably see the results online tomorrow morning. In the meantime the Dr sent an email and said the labs (FT3, FT4 and TSH) are about as normal as ever and to keep taking the 30mg until I see her in June. I'll post the results as soon as I get them. I just wonder if this is a cold I'm getting or the thyroid. :(

Thanks

We can't advise you to stop thyroid medication and doubtful that the medication is causing the fullness, anyway.  That's usually caused by an enlarged thyroid or from not being adequately medicated, plus it's often caused by anxiety, even when you don't "feel" anxious".

Have you any recent thyroid blood tests done? I know in one of your other threads someone suggested that you get TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 tested. If I recall correctly, you were experiencing hyper symptoms, are you still?  I think I saw where you were seeing your doctor the next day.  Did you do that and did you get blood work?  

If you have current blood test results, please post them, with reference ranges.
