I took my levo as normal Tuesday and the capsule has lodged itself in my esophagus, giving me pain in my chest behind my sternum. I can still breathe and swallow, so I figured it would go away, however it's been several days and it's still there. I've tried everything I know to do. Peanut butter was a last resort and even that didn't work.

I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so, what did you do for relief? It feels like bad acid reflux and I am burping a good bit.

I haven't taken any of my medicines the last few days because it hurts and I'm afraid it'll happen again.

I took my levothyroxine capsule the other morning and laid down as I typically do. It has been stuck in my chest, like right behind my sternum, since Tuesday. I can burp and will feel it, but the bugger will not dislodge. I called my PCP today, they never called me back. Should I go to the emergency room? I doubt urgent care will do much of anything. I really don't want to go to the ER, but highly doubt the PCP will do anything, nor will I get in with an ENT next week. I'm scared to take any of my other medications. I can swallow and breathe, but there is a tightness in my chest behind my sternum. I also have a good amount of post nasal drip and coughing up clear phlegm.

I've been seeing a guy for about 8.5 months and it is going great. Kind of scary because it's a healthier relationship than what I've had before. I said early on into us talking that I never really felt loved by my parents, much less a partner. He responded by saying that's not something he says or throws around lightly. He shows up for me when I ask (I'm not ever one to ask, but he's helping me get better about it because he follows through) and when I don't ask, and he's learning and recognizing my quirks.

I do like him... a lot. We've talked about marriage and kids in a general sense of being on the same page as two people in their 30s. We talked about maybe moving in together next year at year two. He makes sure I have what I need to be comfortable and is extremely considerate of my well-being. It's so.freaking.easy. We haven't had an argument once. Sure, we get frustrated sometimes, but we communicate and we fix it.

Sometimes I almost slip up and say it, but I'm sort of holding out because knowing what I know about him, I want him to express that first. And that's where I'm conflicted because what if he's doing the same thing?! This is the longest I've been in a relationship and have not said that yet, which is perfectly fine. He's gone at my pace because there was a lot I dealt with at the beginning and he was so patient and comforting. I feel that he does show it thriugh his actions and the way he looks at me a second longer. Breathtaking, truly, but the realist in me has to be on alert.

He says I've met the important people in his life and I was sort of anticipating it to happen after that. We're going on a little trip for my birthday this weekend, so maybe it'll happen then? That gives me anxiety lol.

So, chat, what would you do? Is this normal?

He's a Virgo sun, Cancer moon, and Libra rising if that matters to anyone.
