Hi all

I have been told I have thyroid nodules and in the last week I am very breathless on exertion.I feel my chest is congested and feel pressure on my neck when I stand up. Could there be a connection.

Thanks

Have you had thyroid and vitamin blood test results yet

Low iron/ferritin levels can cause breathlessness

Test thyroid early morning

TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested.

Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum
