When I speak, it feels as if my vocal chords are straining and I get an immediate sick sensation that goes from my nose to my head. A sudden achiness in my left nostril that runs up to my head. I don t know how to describe the sensation in the head but I will liken it to a bleeding on the brain feeling. I was diagnosed 8 months back with Hashimotos- my two doctors who are treating me both say the head sensation has absolutely nothing to do with the thyroid disease. Meanwhile - I know from my research that Hashimotos causes inflamation of the neck and thyroid and presents at times a goiter. Can this odd sensation be caused by a goiter pressing on some vocal chord/nerve? It has gotten so bad that I am afraid to speak loudly. Please help! Thank you
