dont wrry, GORD and thyroid problems are very seperate. you would know if ur thyroid was going crazy, coz the symptoms are glaringly obvious.
they both just happen to be in ur neck, thts all. not really much more of connection than that.
uv probably got weakening of the oesophageal sphincter (the round muscle layer which keeps food in your stomach), and/or excess acid production.
if the problem persists, you should go back to your doctor. u will get further tests done to check of H. Pylori infections. u dnt need to worry if u have this bug tho, since 60% of people in the developed world, and nearly 100% in the developing world have it (yet most of them are fine and well!!).
u shud seek further medical help if the problem persists, if u start coughing up blood (haemoptisis), or notice any other pains in ur chest, radiating to other places away from the midline of ur sternum.
dnt wrry about ur thyroid. u wud know if it wasnt working properly or not - trust me on this one!
