Unsure

HI I'm a 49 year old and have had a persistent post nasal drip and coughing fits for over 10 years. It feels as if I have a pin in my throat and a lump that isn't painful but makes it difficult to swallow. My Dr has no idea what is wrong so I'm reaching out for some help!

Sounds like it could be a swollen thyroid gland. Has your doctor tested your thyroid levels? TSH, FT4, FT3, TPOab. Unfortunately, doctors have no idea about the symptoms of low thyroid.

Thanks for the reply I'll ask my GP to run tests.
