Thanks, yeah, I do get allergies, especially pollen. I do take allergy medicine when it gets bad.
I just don't know what this is or why it's changed over the last 7 months when I've always had allergies and haven't noticed anything else different. I guess I'll just have to keep trying stuff till I find something that works.
It could possibly be allergy related - either just pollen irritating your throat or even post nasal drip that is causing problems. Maybe give an over the counter antihistamine type medication a try to see if it helps.
Thanks Nicola, I'll ask about that. I hate to do it right now because they're looking into why I'm getting all these headaches so we're concentrating on that right now. I will mention it him next time I go in though. Thanks again for the suggestions and helpful advice!
Hi even though you have had a thyroid blood test, and maybe it was normal.
Doesnt mean to say you havent got a nodule on the thyroid.
My suggestion to you would be to ask your GP for a simple thyroid ultrasound scan to check for swelling, or a thyroid nodule, or adenoma.
You can have nodules, and still have normal thyroid bloodwork.
Nodules, can cause hoarseness in the voice,
Your GP should be looking for the cause to your hoarseness, and not take it lightly.
Best of luck.
Dont forget now THYROID ULTRASOUND SCAN.
Is what you ask for.
Take care, im here if you need anymore information

I had my thyroid tested through a blood test a few months ago. Would that show anything?
Have you had your thyroid ultrasound scanned, because you can have nodules on the thyroid, which is in the throat, and these can cause hoarseness, and like a raspy feeling in the throat and voice.
I would have a thyroid blood test, and ultrasound of the thyroid, as this is were your problem might lie.
I had a nodule on my thyroid, and it caused me hoarseness in the voice.
Hope this helps,
Nicola
