Does Armour Cause Muscle Weakness, Breathing Difficulty And Hair Loss?

I stopped taking 30 mg Armour, after experiencing muscle weakness, since the heart is a muscle, would this will explain why it is hard for me to take a breath with and w/o exercise and blobs of hair loss. These effects became more accentuated in March. My doctor send me to ER to check if I was having a heart attack. Then, I did not know Armour can cause these problems, so I kept on taking it. My doctor did a blood test and result were normal according to her. I just stopped taking it, ARE THESE SIDE EFFECTS PERMANENT, IS MY HEART DAMAGED? IS MY HAIR GOING TO KEEP FALLING OFF?? IS MY THYROID HARMED?
