Exam will help: If you have an enlarged thyroid or a nodule that your doctor can feel an ultrasound of the thyroid can be ordered to determine if the problem is with the thyroid. The GI specialist may need to look into your esophagus again with the scope to see if there is scar tissue or a blocked from the inside.
