To anyone with an underactive thyroid, do you have any of these problems? I am currently taking 150mcg of thyroxine - over the 14 or so years I have been taking it the dose has increased from 50mcg to 150mcg.

Lately I have been having problems with feeling as though I am being choked and I can't breathe properly. My last blood test showed that my medication needed increasing to 150mcg.

I am going back to my GP, but I just wondered if anyone else with an underactive thyroid ever had these sort of symptoms or are they unrelated to this condition.

Thank you:D

Blessings

Helen

Tight throat and breathlessness could potentially be a symptom of anxiety - have you been stressed or worried about anything lately?

Ah stress & anxiety! Anything worrying me? Where do you want me to start? It is a prime contender.

Thanks for your reply.
