I Feel Like My Throat Is Closing

I suffer from hypothyroidism and have been on 50 MCG of levothyroxine and vitamin D3 5000 daily and I have had sore and tender throat and uncomfortable to touch. It feels like my throat is closing. I went to the doctor today and she said my tonsils were slightly swollen. I have never had problems with my tonsils. Has anyone had issues with their tonsils or throat while suffering from thyroid issues or on medication? It seems to be a new or different symptom every day! ## Hello, Angela! How are you? No, this medication hasn't been known to cause tonsil issues. Did your doctor prescribe anything to treat it, such as an antibiotic? It may be beneficial for you to see an ENT. ## I have always read that true diagnostics for hypothyroidism, that one has to do four evaluations: T3,T4, tsh,...

Sammy I have had a sore mouth for up to 1 year and I have been doctors and dentist all they gave was mouth wash my throat feels like it's closing up I had a biopsy in my mouth wait for results but I'm in agony canthe eat and sleepilepsy good when I brush my teeth it brings me to tears as mouth and lipsee sting so long much ## That is very unusual. I am so sorry about what you're going through, Sammy. Have you gotten the biopsy results back, yet? Do you take any medications regularly? The NIH lists this as being a possible side effect of some medications, such as Suboxone sublingual tablets, Tums, as well as some medication conditions, such as oral herpes. Do you have any allergies that you are aware of?

Is it possible to purchase diphenhydramine, viscous lidocaine, and Maalox over the counter for my IBS? ## No, this form of Lidocaine is not available over the counter, since the FDA warns that it carries the risk of causing side effects, which may include dangerous cardiac reactions. The other two, however, are freely available. What has your doctor advised you to take to treat it? ## I took this oral suspension of Diphenhydramine, Lidocaine Viscous, Maalox, that was prescribed to my husband. I took it because I had a lot itching in my throat. I started noticing that my mouth went numb and my throat was closing. I got very anxious and my left arm was tingling. I was about to call the ambulance but right now I feel better.

I was given a GI cocktail of mylanta, lidocaine viscous and dicyclomine at the er. I went in with chest pains feeling really out of it, shortness of breath, had blisters on the roof of my mouth, tired and couldn't remain awake. It could've been due to an allergic reaction to tramadol pain pills which I got last Friday. A chest xray showed ACUTE bronchitis and chest pains. EKG twice was fine. Did it twice Tuesday and nothing came up, but when I drank that GI Cocktail when my throat got numb, it felt like I was suffocating. I could hardly breathe. It felt like my air intake was closing up on me. I could see in my mind what it felt like it was doing. Like you see pictures in the doctors office of plague built up in the artery and the little hole where the blood barely flows; that...
