The hypothalamus is centrally involved in many hormone production

cycles, feeding signals via hormones to the pituitary. Some hormone

issues come from damage to the hypothalamus. It is also involved in

swallowing.

I've read recently too that a sign of hypothyroidism is swallowing

difficulties. It's possible I guess that your issue may be tied to

the hormone problem.

I have bad reflux problems taking meds if I eat something that is bad for this I

wake up with my throat on fire and can't breathe. I keep telling my Dr. this is

how I am going to die I mean it one morning I was turning blue my wife call EMS.

So I don't eat foods that aggavate this. But I don't feel like vomiting.

This may mean that smooth muscle responds to T just as we more

commonly see striated muscle - think skeletal, biceps, etc. - respond.

The vomiting could be a related problem caused by loose muscle

allowing stomach acid and contents to come up, and I would not be

surprised if T helped to stop it after a couple of months.

I have something similar that occurs. When mine happens I take an Aciphex. Mine

aren't as bad as yours but no fun nonetheless. It's not that frequent either.

Indian food and high spice stuff activates it for me. I don't turn blue, I turn

red. Someone should take a picture of us together?
