Can Armour Thyroid Cause Shortness Of Breath?
Question: I really need help with my hashimotos and my reg doc just looks at the TSH and proclaims I'm fine. Recently I have had terrible side effects from my Armor Thyroid. I ended up in the ER with anaphylatic shock two weeks ago. I could barely breathe. I had eaten nothing new. I had changed nothing but I noticed with the latest batch of Armour I was getting short of breath approx 4 weeks before the ER visit. I was sent home and I stopped taking the Armour. Within 2 days I was feeling great. Now though, I am not taking anything and I know it won't be long before the thyroid issues start taking their toll. I want to know what on earth I can take. I am getting more and more allergic as the years go by to just about everything. I bought a porcine allergy test online and it proved positive which answers why the Armour thyroid became an issue but I really don't want chemical alternatives if there is another solution. Any advice you can give will help I'm sure. Thanks so much

Allergic reactions to Armour thyroid are very rare.
Have you used other thyroid hormones before ( levothyroxine) have you had an allergic reaction to them?
How is your TSH level and do you have signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism?
