Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Ive been treated for high blood pressure for the past few months trying different combinations of drugs to help me. I have settled with my current meds but BP still running 133/85. Im going to ask my dr if she has ever tested my thyroid the next time I see her. Throughout all of this I have a pain/strain/tenderness in the front of my throat, front right side. She had my carotid artery scanned to make sure there wasnt a blockage...and there wasnt anything. My question....would an issue with my thyroid give me the discomfort in my throat?
