I'm a thyroid patient and have been on medication for 8 to 10 years. Lately, I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat, and I often get breathless, mostly in the evenings. Whenever I do any hard work, my breathing gets faster. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be wrong?

I've just got my LFT test results, and I'm kind of worried because my GGT levels have shot up to 575. Plus, my triglycerides are at 281, and blood sugar levels from fasting are 168. I've been on Glycomet 500 MG Tablet SR twice a day, yet my foot has felt numb and tingly for the past year. I had sarcoidosis back in 2020, and my doctor had me on TB medication for 9 months. I quit smoking two years ago and don't drink at all. Other LFT parameters are fine. Could you help me understand why my GGT and triglycerides are high?
