Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 have you been tested for sleep apnea? If overweight, very common. SLEEPING/BREATHING PROBLEMS I would like to hear from those who had breathing issues especially at night while trying to sleep. Did you awake out of breath? Did you fall asleep, dream and wake up 5mins later, and then repeat the process for hours? I am looking for a ray of hope here. I am still on 25mcgs of Synthroid (been on that dose for one month). I just had my blood drawn Friday and will know where I stand. I am sure he will increase my Syn as 25 is very low. I have been very depressed today. I feel like I want to sit in a corner and cry my eyes out. I don't know if it is not having enough meds or sadness over my situation. I hope all of the S**T is from the meds not being right instead of some other problem. It has been going on for about 3 months. A got maybe 3hours sleep last night. All adrenal tests are normal, even the pupil test, bp test, and scratch test. BY THE WAY, I TRIED ARMOUR AND COULD NOT TOLERATE IT EVEN AT 1/4 GRAINS. P.S. I am fat, but I don't snore much and I am not loud when I do...so I have been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I am going for a sleep study on the 14th. I rarely snore and not loud.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Dear , Your ray of hope might be Crataegus. It's a natural med that relaxes the heartmuscle. I took 10 to 20 drops three times a day and I was able to deal with upping my meds whereas I couldn't up at all with levoxyl anyway. Therefore I was severely underdosed. It's a paradox, you are desperately in need for the T3, but your body-cells might have become so weak that they can't deal with it anymore! I was on synthetic meds for 6 years, so I had an untreated hypo for 6 years. Now I'm thinking that it's a miracle that I have survived that placebo actually. By the way, are you cold, do you have hairloss? Do you have any other hypo-symptoms? And have you checked your ferritin lately? Take care, Margreet. > > I would like to hear from those who had breathing issues especially > at night while trying to sleep. Did you awake out of breath?
