Hashimoto thyroiditi: Hashimoto thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder that causes an underactive thyroid and is easily treated by prescribing the proper amount of a thyroid supplement. If a careful evaluation of her neck and throat reveals no sign of pathology, her choking sensation may be related to stress and chronic anxiety. Stress management coaching may help her get over this symptom. Discuss with MD
