Trouble Breathing?

Hi! I'm hypothyroid and every once in awhile, I have trouble breathing. I feel like I can't take in a deep breath. Does anyone else have this problem? Thsi also contributes to the anxiety cause by the hypo. Thyroid problems can really mess you up!!

Ok, one more question....I sometimes have difficulty swallowing. I'll eat something and try to swallow and then I feel like my throat closes up and I have to force myself to swallow. Wasn't sure if this was a thyroid thing too. It's unbelievable to me how many things are affected when you have thyroid problems!!

If you have trouble swallowing, it is usually because of nodes or a goiter. Have you been checked for that? I have very slight swelling on the right side of my thyroid but never feel it. But some people here have a lot of problems with it. There are a ridiculous amount of things related to our thyroids!! Cathy :)
