Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Thyroid problems can result in your symptoms.
The symptoms of throat problem, throat irritation and frequent cough and weight gain can be due to
1. Thyroid swelling - nodules in thyroid may press up on your air or food passage
2. Thyoiditis - a thyroid inflammation will swell your thyroid resulting in these symptoms
3. Stomach problems - gastritis is usually associated with reflux and lead to throat problems.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards
