Suggest Treatment For Thyroiditis

Hi, I have thyroiditis and doctors say I m not hashimoto s yet but will be. My TSH is 4.89 and I have the antibodies. Anyway I get a lot of shortness of breath and dry eyes at night when sleeping. I went to a very hot humid place for 5 days and everything improved greatly. Why is this?
