A member asked:
I have had whistling when i exhale and after tests doctor said i tighten my throat due to my ocd.read somewhere that it could be thyroid canncer.true?

Thyroid CA unlikely: That's a very unlikely symptom of thyroid cancer. You might discuss things w/ your doctor and do an exam - possibly blood work. But it's not at all likely. Upper respiratory or mucus in throat blockage is more likely. OCD of a very specific sort might be a cause but that also seems odd (for the whistle) the worry - yes! Anxiety associated w/ OCD could be involved as reaction, not cause.
