Wondering if anyone has coughing fits when laying down at night esp and /or when you feel thyroid getting most in self attack mode. Thanks for your insight

Boohbette17,

I had a large nodule compressing my windpipe and it was uncomfortable lying down flat as it made me choke and cough. I got used to sleeping slightly raised with an extra pillow.

Boohbette17,

Your GP could palpate your thyroat and neck to see whether s/he detects any swelling or lumps but to conclusively rule out a thyroid nodule or goitre you would need an ultrasound scan of the thyroid.
