You said that your Thyroid profile is normal.
Your feeling of shortness of breath should be due to either some problem in the lungs, or heart, or it could be sheer anxiety.
If you have pulse oximeter you can test yourself 3-4 times per day. If it is genuinely low, you should consult a Cardiologist or Respiratory Medicine specialist.
With the reports you may have follow up from a General Physician on Practo.

Stress and thyroid can cause breathlessness, but it is not the only cause too. So better to consult a physician in person to rule out other causes of breathlessness and ce to a reasonable diagnosis.
