View allI'm dealing with hypothyroidism, but it's stable right now. A few days back, I had a fever and took Crocin for a day, which made the fever go away. But now I'm having these episodes where it feels like I can't breathe properlysometimes when I'm sitting, other times when I'm standing. Drinking water or eating helps for a bit, but then the shortness of breath comes back. Could this be some kind of infection or just my anxiety acting up? Anyone know if I should be getting some tests done?
