What Causes Weakness And Shortness Of Breath While On Armour Thyroid?
I am taking Armour Thyroid. I am experiencing weakness and shortness of breath. I read these are some of the symptoms. I have had all kinds of heart tests and they can t find anything wrong. I really think it is the Armour thyroid. Can I just stop taking it?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the armour thyroid was prescribed by your doctor as treatment then you should discuss your effects and wish to discontinue the medication with him or her first.
If it is a supplement that you are using on your own then it can be discontinued.
I hope this helps
