Hashimoto thyroiditis, globus sensation, or tms

[Filipe2025]

Hi,

I was diagnosed with hashimoto thyroiditis. My blood values are still ok, beside my auto imune ones, anti-tg, and anti-microssomas . I have 4 nodules, being the biggest one with 2.7 mm. I went to a endocrinologist, whish didn't gave me any medicine and said I was fine.

The problem is that, I have this globus sensation that increased exponentially, because I didn't know what I had, and start chasing, and digging. My stress levels and my fear Increased to the point Im having trouble sleeping . I have this sensation of something stuck in my throat, if someone trying to smother me with his hands. It eases when I cry, or when I'm more relaxed.

I ask, namely to hashimoto suffers if they have the same Globus feeling? And nausea, as I feel my Larinx being compressed by my thyroid. Looking at my neck, it doesn't look swallon, although ia says that my values are of a slightly enlarged thyroid, right lobe, 49 X 19 X 27 compared to one ecograhy that I did 15 years ago, 44x22x 16.

"The thyroid dimensions of 49 x 19 x 27 mm (length x anteroposterior x width) are generally within or slightly above the normal adult range for a single lobe. "

My stress levels and fear are up the scale. I always had this hysterical personality.

Could this all be TMS? Unconscient Muscle tension in the neck? Because sometimes I feel better. Does the thyroid swollen and unswollen so fast? Like muscle tightness/relaxation?

This choking sensation, also changes when I move my head. Or pick something from the ground other times it's ok.

Louise hay says thyroid problems are linked to not thrusting in life, the feeling of perform or else, fear of not being good enough, of loosing the ones you live. I feel this every time. I love alone.

Thanks a lot

I’ve had it, and I also have Hashimotos and hypothyroidism - but I don’t think it had anything to do with that. I had it for about a year, and then it went away by itself, when I didn’t really think about it anymore. If you got checked out by your doctor, and there is nothing to find, you’re okay. It’s a pretty common symptom of stress.

Thanks for replying , Monica.

I feel a deep tension on my trachea, not my Larinx. Like someone is shocking me. It eases when I forget about it. It worsen at night, and when I'm tiered. I wonder how can I be sure it is muscle tension and not something on my throat. I really don't want to do a endoscopy.

The whole problem started with one of my molar tooth crown falling down. In the beginning was a mild sensation on my úvula, which turn into an awful globus sensation. Unfortunately I read some scary stuff about root canal tooths in the meantime., which scared me to death

The only thing I found so far, is that I have a thyroiditis, and that the tooth that fell down had indeed a root canal. I have 5. Being afraid of loosing my teeths hunts me since long time. My globus sensation worse when I bend my head forward

When I cry I sense a strange sensation on my Adams Apple. What does this means?

Did your hashimoto thyroiditis have an impact on your throat? Do you have dry mouth? Swollen tongue, or vagus nerve perturbation? Could my symptoms be due to a underactive thyroid?

Hello. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. However, I don’t have any discomfort related to that at all.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis antibodies about a year and three months ago. At that time, my doctor told me that my ANA level and thyroid-related values were abnormal, and that the ultrasound showed signs of thyroiditis (he said it looked bumpy — but not nodular). However, the doctor said it wasn’t at the stage where I needed medication yet, so we decided to do follow-up tests.

Right now, all my thyroid-related levels (probably T3 and T4) are within the normal range. I’ve never been prescribed any medication so far. I used to get blood tests every three months, but at my last checkup, the doctor said it would be fine to extend it to every six months. He told me that I could continue living as usual without any problems. If hypothyroidism develops later, then I can take medication and manage it at that time (he said it very casually!). He never mentioned anything about possible neck pain or anything like that. He told me to come back to the hospital only if I start showing symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as being unusually sensitive to cold, having a reduced appetite, or gaining weight. He was an endocrinologist.

I can relate to your hysterical personality — I really have one, too. But regarding Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, please don’t worry! I think the discomfort you’re feeling is probably TMS. I completely understand that strange sensation when a part of your body starts feeling uncomfortable right after you get a diagnosis. Still, I think it’s okay to trust Dr. John Sarno a little more.

Thanks for replying. All these symptoms, namely, a swollen tongue, or the sensation of the úvula touching my tongue, all started when the crown of my tooth fell down. It had a root canal treatment done 15 years ago.

Do you have any root canal tooth? I have 6. I always feel sleepy, and with little energy and right now I lost 5kg.

I know that some holistic dentist advise people to extract the tooth. On the other hand, I know that a swollen tongue can be due to hyperthyroidism. I always had my T3 bellow normal values.

I just don't know if I should extract this dead tooth.

Did you watch the root cause documentary? Thanks

What you are describing is undoubtedly strongly associated with stress/anxiety and therefore TMS. Whilst this is a horrible feeling it is harmless and if you can accept what it is it will fade. I have suffered Globus on two separate occasions and both lasted for numerous months. It is frightening but again not harmful at all. It is actually tension in a small muscle which results in not so small sensations. It is one of the more common symptoms of fight, flight, freeze.

And yes, moving head positions can bring about increased sensations.

So it doesn't have to do with a root canal tooth? An allergy, of some sort? Or enlarged thyroid? Did sadness play a part? When my tooth fell down I felt a deep sadness. I have this fear if loosing all my teeth, because they are very weak.

I know that the vague nerve wich enervates the tongue, the heart, could be compressed by tension

I feel a lot of tension on the back of my head, here it connects to the throat. Maybe this happened because I was doing a lot of exercise, and always looking down to my smart phone - tech neck

No, I will take a look. Thank you. My only doubt is that this all started with my tooth felling down. I'm so scared that this has to do with having death tooths in my mouth. I read a lot about root canal tooths. Maybe my tongue swollen when my tooth fell down due to an allergic reaction. On the other hand, if I extract the tooth, and my symptoms won't go away...

I touch my neck softly on the back of my throat and start having the same strange sensations in my tongue and úvula. What does this means? Does it means it is related to muscle tension? Is my mouth somehow desalign? I already cover the root of the tooth that was exposed.

My neck hurts a lot, and I sense a discomfort when I touch it. And nausea.

@Filipe2025, what is it going to take to STOP talking about your tooth and your throat?

You keep coming back here and asking the same questions. You continue to receive the same advice, which is to treat your mental health issues. Then you go away for a little while and then come back and do it again, hoping you'll get a different answer. But the answers are still the same.

Have you noticed that nobody ever answers any questions about your physical symptoms? The answers you receive are about your mental health, which is what TMS is all about and what this forum is for.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and replace the word "tooth" or "throat" or "tongue" every time you write them, with "physical symptom I keep obsessing about over and over and over again".

We are not dentists or doctors, therefore we CAN NOT give you any opinions about your tooth or your throat or your tongue. You must see a dentist and a doctor. Then you must believe what the dentist and doctor tell you.

For your own sake, you have to stop, because this is getting you nowhere.

Serious question: Have you ever been evaluated for OCD? I ask this because I sincerely believe that you need more help with your mental health than this forum can provide.

 

[Filipe2025]

But why did I loose 5kg? Why did it all start when the crown of my tooth fell off? Was it just a coincidence, as it seems? Why does root canal tooth are called death tooths? Is it possible that my body are rejected them in this way? Isn't the same as silicon breast? Yet women do it.

Can deep rooted fears mimic a symptom so powerful that interferes with your sleep? Can my mind oxygen depraved my throat, so that it seems my throat muscles don't work properly? Should I take an anxiety pill as a clue to what's really going on? I hate pills?

Everyone is afraid of dying. I'm OCD, but I guess everyone is.

 

[Rusty Red]

Read Claire's book. Seriously.

 

[Joulegirl]

Can deep rooted fears mimic a symptom so powerful that interferes with your sleep?

Yes, absolutely.

Should I take an anxiety pill as a clue to what's really going on?

You can only make that call with your mental health professional. But a pill will not fix the root cause of your TMS symptoms. It will only be a Band-Aid.

@JanAtheCPA gave you some great advice. I would recommend rereading it as it is the basics to start healing from TMS.

Look, I found a similar story on YouTube. This is giving me hope. What do you guys think? Because now I'm felling my tongue, and throat burning. Besides being very dry, having taste changes, and sored

I'm now quite sure, that watching my crown tooth falling down out me in a state of deep rooted fear. Fear of loosing my teeth, because they are death tooths and this one break just by touching it with my tooth brush.

I think FEAR is the root cause of all diseases.

Oh my god, I feel fine, now. I guess I'm just another successful story. Don't you let yourself doubt, FEAR is what perpetuates TMS. And all diseases.

Thanks

Ps: I live in a country where there is no TMS doctors. You're my only hoe. I'd getting better. The more I look elsewhere, the more Im afraid, and the worse is the pain. From a mild discomfort to a burning sensation.

Monica, did you have a Goiter? Did it shrank? I found out that this odd sensation is from my goiter compressing my trachea, although it is fully exacerbated with stress. Once I calm down my anxiety it decreases, but never to the point of disappearing.

My right lobe has 49mm X 19 X 27. The normal is below (50 X 18 X 20). It is not that much, but I sure feel it in my throat. The left one is normal.

Goiter develops on the right lobe due to the conflict "perform, or else...". It is totally consisted with what I felt by the time it developes. I feel this compression when I bend my neck. I'm just afraid that it doesn't shrink

Thanks

Have you looked into possible mental health support from @JanAtheCPA 's previous recommendation? It could really be helpful in getting a handle on your anxiety. You said you hate meds, it doesn't have to be meds. CBT can be very beneficial for anxiety.

Thanks a lot for your help. I do believe that it was stress, namely lack of self stem, and being a people pleaser that brought me here. It is very difficult for me to be at ease with people.

I know if I calm down, this eventually go away. I think thyroiditis, as,chronic pain, is nothing more than anxiety.

There a lot of people that heals from hashimoto, following Joe dispenza teachings, which is the same as tms.

Unfortunately, as you can see my problem is common with hashimoto thyroiditis. I guess the tooth was just a coincidence.
