What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Chronic Fatigue?
Hello, I am a 45 YO female. No personal history of heart disease, however Coronary artery disease and A-fibrillation in my family history. I have been treated for thyroid disease. I take Levothyroxine since my gland was treated with radioactive iodine.( .125mcg t.i.w. and .112 4.i.w, also Lexapro 10mg daily.) I have recently noticed that I get short of breath upon climbing stairs. I m also very tired on a constant basis. What are your thoughts?

Hi,
From history it seems that your this problem might be due to thyroid and pre menopause age.
Continue with thyroid medicine.
Take some multivitamine and calcium supplements.
As you get some breathlessness while climbing upstairs, go for EKG to rule out any cardiac ailment like Angina.
Ok and take care.
