Hi
There can be several reasons of breathlessness in a hypothyroid patient (if thyroid hormone is still not normal despite taking treatment). Hypothyroidism can cause breathlessness due to anemia, fluid retention (pleuropericardial effusions), weight gain, etc. It's important that you keep your TSH in normal range. And have a regular follow-up with your doctor.
Thank you
