Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]

heart rate drop

My Update on Breathing and 02 SATs...
Thank you all that replied to my post - My SATS are not to blame for my Breathlessness - But something is and it's being sorted. I went to see my GP and my 02 SATs are normal for me, They go to 89 and even lower, but not consistently. I normally am 92 at the moment - but as I say can go lower. I

Hi everyone, hope your all as well as you can be.Well I saw my Respiratory doctor at hospital, and after a meeting with specialist at Guys London, I am not suitable for lung reduction due to the fact that I am stage 3 and lungs are full of Emphysema holes, I only have 40% lung function in both lungs
