so short of breath

[mandy72]

im at drs tomorrow so will mention it but it will be brushed under the carpet as anxiety

even sitting down it feels like im struggling to breath

making me want to go to A/E but i get there and everything is fine

Are you taking any thyroid medication? If so, you could be overmedicated. On the other hand, if you're not taking anything or are taking a low dose, then it could just be another sign that you need more thyroid hormone. tiredthyroid.com/blog/2014/...

im on thyroxine

last TSH was 22 that was beginning of june

[HIFL in reply to mandy72]

Hope someone will measure your FT3 and FT4. Based on your TSH alone, it sounds like your dose is too low.

getting blood out of a stone would be easier, i can ask in 3 weeks but im not holding my breath

Mandy72,

Being undermedicated will make you very breathless. When will your TSH be retested?

[mandy72 in reply to Clutter]

in about 3 weeks i think

it said not to retest for 6 weeks

not sure how much longer i can go like this

Have you taken your pulse when this is happening, just in case its your heart beating in an unusual manner?

Air hunger can be a symptom of low iron. Just a thought ...
