Has anyone had difficulty swallowing when taking pills?

I have had Hashimoto's for many years.  (I do not have a goiter) Recently, I have had difficulty swallowing when taking Synthroid.  It feels as if the pill is stuck in my throat. I tried putting it in a veggie capsule but that didn't help. I've had this symptom before and it went away. Has anyone else experienced this symptom?  Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.

No experience with that myself.  With you having Hashi's and difficulty swallowing you should request an ultrasound test for your thyroid gland.
