As of early July I started taking 20mcg of T3 (split in doses @ 07.00 and 18.00). Prior to this I was on 125mcg. The intro of T3 has been amazing. It has shifted many of my hypo symptoms - particularly my cognitive issues and my energy and mood has increased and is back to where I also thought it should be. And I feel gloriously normal on many counts.
However, I have a new symptom. I am experiencing this very unnerving feeling of not getting enough oxygen. My breaths are good and clear but its just like the air that I take in doesn't have enough oxygen in it. Of course that's not the case as the air works perfectly well for everyone else (!) - its like its another sort of conversion issue. If I'm honest I have had a hint of this for the last few years just through the night but I have only realise that retrospectively. But now, since starting T3 it has increased. I first started noticing at about 21.00/22.00 in the evening and I am very conscious of it when I'm trying to get to sleep. And it seems to be very slowly becoming more present and happens at different points in the day. What is curious is that when I work hard on my bike I don't experience any breathlessness.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on for me ? With everything else seeming to improve I'm perplexed.
