What Causes Throat Fullness And Acid Reflux While On Medication For Hypothyroidism?

I have been having a full feeling in my throat, almost like someone has a grip on it. I also seem to be having symtoms of acid reflux which I have been taking over the counter meds for, but they don t seem to be helping. I have had a low thyroid for years and have been taking prescription meds as treatment.
