Shortness of breath may be unrelated to hypothyroidism you need to get a pft spirometry to ascertain whether you have obstructive or restrictive airway disease. If any of this disease is detected on pft then further investigation can be done for evaluation of chest for the final cause of breathlessness. Do you have any history of allergy to dust smoke animal dander, cold cloudy weather increases breathlessness. Does nebulisations of duolin and budecort help you this means that underlying airway disease may be present but yet to be detected for thyroxine dosage I recommend 1. Md medicine general review or 2. Dm endocrinologist review.
