Why does my thyroid meds cause my constant heartburn/indigestion to disappear?when i don't take my thyroid meds,i can't even drink water w/o having it

Why would you miss: ...taking any doses of a critical drug like thyroid supplement? In answer to your question, when the thyroid doesn't produce a sufficient amount of hormones (thus requiring your prescribed thyroid replacement hormone), the lower esophageal sphincter may not function correctly, thus promoting reflux.
