A member asked:
My doctor checked my thyroid and it felt like she was choking me. was she upset with me over my complaints? is it normal to press hard on neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely upset: Most likely your doctor was palpating your thyroid for any nodules or enlargement. You always should feel confident in telling your physician any complaints and if the exam is uncomfortable.
