Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your not mentioned how much is your TSH level I is normal means no need to start drugs. Tightness may be due to pharygitis or trachitis or GERD etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
