Chronic nausea since 4th grade. It's always been tough for me to keep weight on, but last January I was up to my highest weight ever - which was ALMOST within the normal range for my height. Then in May I got a whole bunch of new symptoms too, and suddenly I was back below 75 pounds. :P
The throat tightness thing was what tipped me off to look at thyroid problems. I'd had panic attacks off and on for ages, but usually the tension seemed centered in my stomach, and suddenly I realized that the tension was now centered in my throat, and it wasn't always a panic attack, just tension in my throat. (Heck, as I'm typing this, my throat is so tight it ACHES, but nothing else feels particularly wrong except that I'm tired. :P) Googled the problem, found out it could mean thyroid issues, went PING! ...Got tested, nothing.
