A member asked:
Hypothyroidism can cause esophagus to close?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not known: It would not cause your esophagus to close. However since most thyroid diseases are autoimmune in nature, you are at risk to develop another autoimmune disease which may affect the esophagus. See a gastroenterologist soon.
