458072 tn?1291415186 Since changing over to synthroid, I have noticed that my throat is so sore. Does this happen to anyone else? What could be causing this? I am on meds for acid reflux thanks for any input.
Avatar f tn A few months ago, I got some hyper symptoms from being on too much Synthroid. Mostly heart palps and anxiety. My endo took me off Synthroid for a few weeks and then started me at 25mcg. A few weeks later, my TSH was at 6 so he put me on 50mcg two weeks ago. Two nights ago, I had a night of insomnia and anxiety but I've been find since then except for a feeling of sore throat/throat tightness. Anyone know what's going on? Is this just a symptom of having my dose increased?
899045 tn?1241824973 I am Hypothyroid and I take synthroid. For two days, maybe three days now, I took my synthroid med later like around noon because I forgot to take it. For about 10-years now, I suffer from Anxiety/Panic Disorders from time to time (not on meds for that). For about 2-years now I've been having sensitive feelings in my throat. Some days, it feels like I got a golf ball in my throat, other days, I feel like I need to cough or swallow (or feel like I cannot swallow).
Avatar f tn Some thyroid medications causes various side effects including sore throat, check the literature thats with your meds. And yes, you might still have hair falling out after ur TSH is 1, that is due to your meds. my derm told me to expect my hair to stop falling around 4 months after TSH reaches 1. however with time, you should notice that your hair fall is lessening with time.
Avatar n tn My thyroid gland swelled up and I would get a sore throat as if muscles were squeezing around my throat. The doctors reduced my dose but the symptoms remained until I totally stopped taking it. If always felt like a muscle was squeezing around my wind pipe. It really hurt. After I have been off of the synthroid and another symptom appeared and lingers. Sometimes when I am sleepling my throat collapses and I wake up choking and gasping for air.
Avatar f tn I usually only get sore throat or a cold once a year, but every since being diagnosed I noticed that my throat feels sore often causing a cough. Could this have anything to do with the Hashi's?
Avatar n tn t go away, hoarsness at times, the feeling of being strangled, earaches, sore throat. I feel hyper in the morning and qite exhausted at night. Also I have neck pain and swollen tissue surrounding the area. Maybe this sounds serious but could I just have a serious infection and that the hyper thyroidism needs to be treated with synthroid?. I guess I'm too hyper waiting to get these tests done...any info is helpful...thank you....
Avatar f tn By 4 weeks some numbers in my blood work other than thyroid were out of range and are now normal. But I have been so sick. It started with a sore throat and then vomiting, then deydration. Dizziness, right arms, legs, face and even tongue. Then I got bronchitis and that gave me my first bad asthma flare up. So many new things. Is this normal cuz of the meds?
Avatar n tn I started taking Synthroid at first and then switched to Armour Thyroid, still get the sore throat and neck pain.
Avatar n tn Depends on how long after you stopped your meds that the sore throat developed, and why you stopped taking your meds.
Avatar f tn I had a sore throat and my voice was very weird amoungst other hypothyroid symptoms when I was on Synthroid. I do not have that now with the med change. I am not sure if it really is a med that causes that - or if it is just being hypothyroid and not optimized.
Avatar n tn After nearly 11 weeks, my collarbone, shoulder and sore throat are still not getting it, that they are supposed to stop hurting. Goiter has decided to join in and start becoming sore, painful and tight.I was under the impression, that after about 10 weeks of synthroid, I would start to feel better. What gives?
533063 tn?1262366101 I have anxiety when i first wake up patially due to my thyroid giving my a sore throat. So its a no win situation for me. I have heartburn too, but thats not the tightness I feel:) I feel better after about an hour of taking my pills, drops my levels down.
Avatar n tn after that i felling well before that but my sleep is broken, i wake up every 3-4 hours and and very light sleep, my sore throat is running before surgery and after surgery and irritating my neck. i am so afraid for it. my tsh level is in normal for that not yet give RAI and no extra thyroid.some times my muscle also twicing. please tell me, is it usual.
Avatar n tn I have it constantly...no relief, my dr did not put me on meds yet.....I also get pain along my jaw....and I have a constant "slight" sore throat...please advise if/when u find an answer.
Avatar n tn Is it possible that starting the synthroid did this? I felt fine before the synthroid and I am starting to feel I should never have gone on it. I don't know what my levels were but I don't think they were very high. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I am 44 year old female and about 3 months ago I went to doctor with symptoms of pretty bad dizziness and cold chills which I new something was wrong as I have been perimenopausal for the last 4 years and have had hot flashes on and off but not a feeling of severe coldness. Over the last couple of years for my annual blood tests my tsh has been steadily increasing from 2.4 when I was 38 yrs old and felt great to 4.
Avatar n tn It started with a sore throat and swollen glands in my neck but no fever. It has progressed to a headache with severe dizziness which was thought to be a form of viral meningitis, fatigue, constant elevated liver enzymes, slight hypothyroid that I have to take synthroid for, and some joint pain. I have have seen a ENT who believed it wasnt somthing with my ears, nose, or throat, also an Endocrinologist who believed my im not truely hypothyroid.
469423 tn?1207509695 I feel better already....thank you so much Stella...and your thinking I'm sure is right.. Yes I have had discomfort with my tongue. It is swollen, tingles and burns a lot and the bumps hurt like heck. The only relief I've found is ice, which really does work well. My lips feel funny as well. Dry & swollen. And yes on the dry throat and thirst. My throat is sore, my skin is very dry and I have headaches.
Avatar n tn s day. It started with a sore throat and swollen glands in my neck but no fever. It has progressed over the months to a headache with severe dizziness which was thought to be a form of viral meningitis, fatigue, constant elevated liver enzymes, slight hypothyroid that I have to take synthroid for. I have have seen a ENT who believed it wasnt somthing with my ears, nose, or throat, also an Endocrinologist who believed my im not truely hypothyroid.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone I had a total thyroidectomy two weeks ago and my scar is still a little bumpy and sore and also my throat is sore .. I am a little concerned as I havn't been started on any thyroid hormone replacement drugs yet all they gave me was a calcium which I have to take 3000 mg a day, How long can I go without this hormone?
4916735 tn?1360986597 I am a hypothyroid patient and I have a cold with sore throat, coughing and congestion. What medicines over the counter can I take?
Avatar f tn Also I have allergies and get allergy shots (about a month ago I took a severe reaction to an allergy shot (first time in over 20 years). Since that time I have a feeling of being allergic (like feeling like a sore throat is coming on in the stationary tubes in the ears when you swallow, but no sore throat comes). Nasal passages do show allergy. No allergy shots planned for awhile. Other than the mentioned upon, I feel fine. I have never had any problems with the amour alone.
Avatar n tn I actually AM having a thyroid problem, but I think it's being resolved. I had a bad doctor insist on giving me generic synthroid, and lo and behold, 4 months later I'm severely hypo. My new doctor got me back on brand name and upped the dose a little bit. I think what is worrying me the most is that she kind of blew me off with the cysts. I don't want her to GUESS that they're "probably" fine - I'd rather know for sure!! Since when do doctors guess?
393685 tn?1425812522 I recieved RAI 1/2004 for hyperthyroid. Since RAI constant feeling of sore throat and something stuck in throat. Started on Synthyroid never feeling well. gained weight sleepy fogged head. joint pain and moody. Started Armour 11-06 - have some relief. Developed acid and bloating for a year. Very uncomfortable. Is there a solid connection to hypothyroid and acid/GI disorders? I can not find anything to put them together - but never had this been an issue for me prior.
