Hi and thank you for asking in HCM

For excluding lung problems better for you to do some tests as follows:
Chest X Ray
Hole blood count
Spirometry
If they comes negative do the tests for the thyroid to recheck:
TSH
FT4
Thyroid ultrasound
According to the above results the endocrinologist might change the treatment for you.

Wish you good health

Thank you
