What does elevated thyroid levels mean?

Answer by  juanita57 (1374)

Elevated thyroid levels can be serious. It can make you get a goiter in your throat area and can also make you gain an excessive amount of weight. Goiters can make your throat feel tight so you feel as if you are choking. It can also make you feel light headed and feel flush or have hot, clammy spells.

Not necessarily, most thyroid problems can be corrected with proper diet and medication. I would recommend going in to see your doctor and having your thyroid levels drawn. At that time you and your doctor can discuss proper treatment.
