Hi,
If your sister is hyperthyroid,she should not take thyroxine.Increased heart rate and breathing difficulty suggest overactivity thyroid.Please stop her medicine and report to your physician with fresh thyroid profile after 2 weeks.Also tell her to exercise 30 minutes daily 5 times a week ,no added salt,eat vegetables,quit if smoking.
Hope you are satisfied.
Take care
