i have an oxometer and my daily readings average at 92...99 being the optimal. i have air hunger but have been putting it down to asthma.i have just been reading up on how low thyriod can effect breathing. i see my endo on tuesday has anyone any suggestions on how i can get him to look into this.

Being low in iron may give you air hunger. Have you ever posted any results that are iron-related?

You posted these results a few weeks ago - I take it you didn't start taking NDT? healthunlocked.com/thyroidu....

Both your FT3 and FT4 are very low in their respective ranges. I'm not surprised you feel unwell - I would if my levels were that low. But your TSH is very normal, which is probably why your GP has dismissed thyroid issues as being the cause. He/she's wrong though. You would definitely benefit from some thyroid hormone replacement.

my breathing issues are bothering me more than my mobility so been concentrating on that..took iron supplements for a year, and ferritin levels came back high so had to stop them..then increased vit b12 about 3 weeks ago.. decided to see what endio would say about levothyroxine first because all these lab tests and supplements are costly and levo being on prescription would help.
