What Causes Breathlessness While Suffering From Hypothyroidism?
Hi I m Kiran age 28 a known case of hypothyroidism since childhood... Two yr back I had breathlessness problem... I had undergone investigation like Doppler n ctpa... Reports were normal... Doc said that it s due to overcorrected thyroid leading to hyperthyroidism.... He decreased the dose from100mcg to75 mcg.... My problem subsided.... But now again m having the same problem of breathlessness... My thyroid profile is T3=89 T4 = 9.1 TSH =1.36. No complaints of orthopnea n paroxymal nocturnal dyspnoea..... What should I do... It irritates me alot
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this the breathlessness condition then it need to be ruled out for allergic asthma and I would advise you to discuss this with your doctor, second condition can be managed with steroid and bronchodilator once it is diagnosed allergic asthma hope this information helps.
