I am 18, and I had got checked my two months before and TSH came out 8.79. I tested my thyroid due to which my doctor asked me to take thyrobless for a month n I took it only for twenty days then I got relived. So I stopped taking it becoz from when I tested my thyroid since then I was having the problem of unable to take deep breath and having a light heaviness in the left chest area when I fall on bed for sleeping or using phone or something else. Doctor can you please tell could this breathing and heaviness problem be because of hypothyroid?

No, not at all. Breathlessness and Chest heaviness are not on the symptoms list of Hypothyroidism. And by stopping your medicine you have not done the right thing. You can also watch my video here on Lybrate about Thyroid diseases for more information. LINK: https://www.Lybrate.com/hs/HT/ca4edab5576d0d6c8cd221f929c1ff0b.
