Suggest Treatment For High BP And Shortness Of Breath
I am taking 15 drops of liquid Iodine natural supplement for a very sluggish thyroid and am on Losartan for high blood pressure. I have been experiencing increasing episodes of shortness of breath whenever I exert any energy, walking, caring laundry, etc. Could the Iodine be the problem?

PE is a condition in which fluid accumulate in chest causing shortness of breath,so for your goiter issue you must switch on thyroxine after consultation to your doctor,check BP regularly along with medication it depends upon the BP reading either you continue the medicine or dose adjustment or ca cahannel blocker required.
