Hi welcome to HCM...
You have doubt regarding asthma and thyroid correlation ...
First I would like to say rule out correct thyroid problem by simple following test ....
1.Blood TSH
2.Blood T3 , T4
3.FNAC from thyroid
If graves disease present and TSH low than drugs for that given like propylthiouracil.....
Here asthma like attack not related to thyroid ....
If you have repeated allergic inflammation than spirometry done for it ....
It will diagnose asthma as well as guide in treatment ...
For repeated asthma attack inhaler might be started .....
Consult physician with keeping this in mind ....
Tale care ....
