Exact cause is unknown but most appreciated hypothesis is either low insulin or insulin resistance due to genetic +/- environmental factors.

View allI accidentally took THYRONORM twice today, once at 8 am and then again at 2:30 pm after lunch. I was actually supposed to take my blood pressure medicine, Lover 100 mg. Can you tell me if it's okay for me to take my BP medicine now? And is there anything else I should do since I took an extra dose of THYRONORM? I'm really worried about what this might do.
yes you can take it

I've been noticing that I'm sighing a lot, like every 5 to 10 minutes I'm taking a deep breath. Occasionally I can't seem to get a full deep breath. This started about 4 days ago and it's got me a bit worried. I don't have any chest pain, and my normal breathing is fine. Do you think this could be an allergy thing, something with my lungs, or maybe even my heart? I'm also yawning frequently. For context, I weigh 80 kg and I'm 169 cm tall. I have hypothyroidism and I'm on 25 mcg of thyronorm. Could any of this be linked?
it might be because of anxiety, kindly reduce your weight and your anxiety
