What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Neck?
Question: I have a fluttering sensation at the base of my neck. I am on thyroid Med . Armor 120 mg. once a day. Was on levothyroxine .2mg. Did not have this issue then. Any ideas? Thank you. XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Please check your thyroid function
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.
Please check your thyroid function to see if you are adequately replaced.
If your hypothyroidism is due to Hashimoto's disease, there can be intermittent neck pain or fluttering sensation or a feeling of constriction in neck. This will go off within weeks and no treatment is usually needed.
Make sure you don't have gastritis, as it can also cause similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you
