Q: Hypothyroid - Tracheotomy?

First time here...Just curious if anyone has heard of a tracheotomy (sp?) causing hypothyroidism? I was severely injured/in a coma and had to have a tube in, and have a problem now with my thyroid that I never had before the hospital...Any comments welcome! (even if you just have had an experience with the thyroid issue/or a tracheotomy problem it would be interesting to hear from you!) :?:
