HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
INcreased levels of thyroid hormones cause weight loss because they increase the body's metabolic rate.
The choking sensation, raspy voice and frequent cough may indicate that they may be pressure on the vocal cords.
There are different causes for hyperthyroidism (high levels of thyroid hormone) but in some cases there may be an associated increased size of the thyroid gland.
The gland can then compress some of the underlying structures such as the vocal cords.
It may not be visibly enlarged to you but with a history of increased hormones levels this is the most likely cause.
At your visit, imaging tests would be suggested to determine the size of the gland.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
