I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a year ago.
Have been on meds for the year, Doses have decreased substantially over the year and my levels seem to have stablized.
I was just wondering what others are doing to manage some of the symptoms like mild anxiety and occasional "out of breath".
I have been to my Doc many times and have been given meds to calm down but I am not happy taking these and am looking for a natural solution for these symptoms.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
