Overactive thyroid.

I’m so pleased to know I’m not alone in this. I have been trying to convince my consultant that it is related - as an asthma sufferer I know it’s different. I have had X rays, an MRI scan, an echoscan, an ecg - every test available, but my heart and lungs are fine. I can’t walk far before I am frighteningly breathless. My thyroid flips from under to overactive, and I am sure it is related.

I am going to have radiotherapy on it in the Autumn, so with any luck that will sort it out.

You need to have a talk to your GP about this, it’s either the condition or the medication, but it doesn’t sound right.

Does anyone suffer with shortness of breath with an overactive thyroid. My chest x ray is clear and I’m not wheezy just very short of breath?
