Heavy breathing in hypothyroidism

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

Hi, My wife had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism last week. Her TSH was 14. She is 28 years old, 52 KGs weight and 5'3" height. We consulted Endocrinologist last week and started Thyroxine 50 MCG. She has been taking the medication since last one week now. She also has low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, for which same doctor has prescribed medicines which she is taking. During late evening and night hours, she feels difficulty in breathing. She gets heavy breathing even with little work or walking. Is it associated with Hypothyroidism, or there is some other problem?

The symptoms you described are not seen in hypothyroidism or its treatment. There could be some other issue. Its better she is re-evaluated in person.
