I'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?

I'm 18 and have gynaecomastia but no lactation is there any way to treat this without surgery
Yes, several non-surgical treatments can be used to address gynecomastia, particularly in teens, without the need for surgery. Many cases of gynecomastia in teenagers are related to hormonal changes during puberty and may resolve on their own within a few years. However, if the condition persists or is accompanied by pain, various medical and lifestyle interventions can be explored.
