A member asked:

Feels like somethings stuck in my throat, could it be my thyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Other common causes of dysphagia ( sense of something stuck in throat ) are allergies with post nasal drip and acid reflux which may occur without heartburn. Thyroid can be evaluated with us and allergies or reflux with over the counter medications from pharmacy.
