Hi all,

This is my first post and I hope I get some help, this seems like a great forum from what I've read so far.

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease a year and a half ago, and so far medication seems to be controlling it well. The only issue I have (which flared up this morning for the first time in about 6 months) is I was woke up this morning unable to breath due to some sort of build up in my throat, and when I managed to cough it out/clear it, I got a horrible burning sensation as if it was an acid build up that was just sitting there and it went all the way back down to my gut..

Im not medically minded per se, but I know this aint right.
I also know that due to my swollen thyroid I do snore quiet heavily and I am also what my family call a very active sleeper, in that I move about in bed quite alot. turn
Im not due back to my endocrinologist until the new year.

Has anyone else suffered with this or know what it is?

Many Thanks,
Robbie

From your description, it sounds as if you could be having gastric reflux at night. This can accompany hyperthyroidism in some people. If it's been more than 2 months since your last thyroid levels were done, you might want to ask your endo to repeat them now to see if perhaps you're becoming hyperthyroid. I'd definitely contact my PCP, because even if it's related to the thyroid it needs to be treated specifically to prevent damage to your esophagus.
