Suggest A Treatment For Hashimoto's Disease

My husband has recently started breathing really loud, all day and night, the sound never changes. He is not overweight. He was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. Just wondering does the two have anything to do with the other? He also has a mass on his paratoid gland.

Hello

It is likely that the hashimotos is causing his difficulty in breathing and this can be due to pressure effect or damage to the nerves supplying his larynx. please do not ignore this and meet your ent doctor as soon as possible to find out the cause for the symptoms and be treated accordingly.

Thanks
