A member asked:
Can being choked once damage your thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Unless there was a very large amount of soft tissue trauma it is unlikely that the thyroid was damaged. It would be easy enough to have your thyroid checked with some blood tests done by your doctor.
