Yes it does as this is a hypo symptom.

i have had this too... hypo symptom, but interestingly i really noticed it for

the first time when i first went on armour...(think it was there before, but

mild enough where it was written off as sports induced asthma)

i started armour first, a few years ago, and knew nothing about the adrenal

correlation... i felt wonderful for a day or so and then crash, i felt really

weird/bad... but the thing that scared me and made me look into it asap was the

air hunger, it was really bad. it was not being able to utilize the thyroid with

low cortisol that exasperated this hypoT symptom for me...

and anytime along the way on T3 when i have raised too fast or too much and my

body for whatever reason (low cort, low iron, low b12)couldnt handle more

thyroid, this nasty symptom would come back. thats how it was for me.

or for you, it could be you just plain need more thyroid in your tissue??

btw, i also have had a different kind of breathlessness as a low b12 symptom,

just as a thought.... low b12=low red blood cells, which lower the transport of

oxygen throughout your body.

and dont quote me on this, but maybe low iron can have the same impact on oxygen

transport?

anyway, it sucks and its scary,

but getting to the end of your rt3/t3 journey will stop it, dont worry.

is, thanks so much for your answer. I guess I just need constant reassurance due to the scariness of this. So did you start on t3, and how long before your s.o.b., air hunger went away? I am taking b12 injections, and am on pushing 200 mg Bluebonnet Iron per day for two weeks now. I'm only worked up to 37.5 mg of Cytomel, making sure I get my iron up, too. I will have days where it is not as bad, but NO days yet where it completely goes away. Any tips you can give me for coping are appreciated. Just feels like I can't get to the bottom of my breath, and like I need to take a deep breath a lot. Maybe this is the downregulation of my body due to the rt3? Anyway, it stinks. It's great to have people like you and Val and Jacki and Diane and Nick to reassure me!
