Hi linny. I have been taking thyroxine for nearly 40 years following a thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer. I cannot recall “air grabbing” as I know it until post op colon cancer about 12 years ago. It still happens but seems to be unconnected to anything in particular apart from being a bit tired. Stay safe. Stay well. Daisy

Hi. I am on levothyroxine as my thyroid was removed as I had a very big goitre. I suffer from 'air hunger' but as I have bronchiectasis, emphysema etc I don't think its my thyoxine.
