Hi
Along with tsh 7 and dr increasing levo dose got these blood results as well and all seem normal but wondered if my breathlessness and fatigue was as a result of thyroid or possible iron problem
increased thyroxine not kicked in yet week 5
Thank you all so much
Kate
Folate and ferritin are relevant
Look at increasing iron rich foods in diet to help improve low ferritin levels
Also need Vitamin D and B12 test results
Thank you SlowDragon which foods can you Recommend to raise ferritin and folate?Regards kate
Low ferritin
Look at increasing iron rich foods in diet
Eating iron rich foods like liver or liver pate once a week plus other red meat, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate, plus daily orange juice or other vitamin C rich drink can help improve iron absorption

Great in-depth article on low ferritin

This is interesting because I have noticed that many patients with Hashimoto’s disease and hypothyroidism, start to feel worse when their ferritin drops below 80 and usually there is hair loss when it drops below 50.
Thyroid disease is as much about optimising vitamins as thyroid hormones

Never ever supplement iron without doing full iron panel test for anaemia first

Iron/ferritin and restless legs
I stopped feeling breathless or wheezy once my ferritin hit around 80-90, so would advise continue raising ferritin and see how you feel. I've read on the forum that many feel good on ferritin values of around 90-100, but it of course varies between people 
Have you had your iron panel done? My breathlessness improved with coming out of iron deficiency anaemia recently. The iron also helped raise ferritin levels somewhat.
Continue to supplement with folate and get the other vitamins checked since all of them play into your wellbeing.
Folate might be ok
Depends on what B12 result is……they work together
Folate is in green leafy vegetables
