Suggest Treatment For Fatigue , Joint Pain And Shortness Of Breath
Hi! I believe I need to try anew thyroid medicine. Maybe something more natural. I have been struggling with my symptoms for years. I now am taking 125mcg generic synthroid. Not sure if I am dealing with side effects or from the med or even from statin. I hurt a lot in my joints . Regular fatigue, shortness of breathe and up and down weight issues. Brain fog, weakness, feeling down and no zeal for life. My body cannot keep up with my brain. I m 39. Been taking med for 7 yrs. Just tired and tired of being tired. Tired of aching and feeling weak and not being able to think straight. So what option do I have. I feel like a hypochondriac when the docs tell me they don t see anything wrong and my thyroid levels are normal.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fatigue , joint pain and shortness of breath. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like carpal tunnel syndrome , rheumatoid arthritis , medication reaction or side-effect , acute sinusitis , viral syndrome or mononucleosis. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , urine test to check uric acid or take history . Doctor may also order liver function and kidney function test .Doctor may prescribe anti viral like acyclovir , anti inflammatory , multivitamin supplement or refer you to orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , apply warm compresses to your joints and drink plenty of water .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
