Shortness Of Breath On Levothyroxine

Ever since my total Thyroidectomy I have been taking Levothyroxine and I feel awful. I have low energy and get short of breath. I heard people gain weight but I keep losing weight yet my numbers are level. Anyone else experience this?

Shortness of breath could be caused by an allergic reaction to this medication, you should talk to your doctor about this possibility.

As to the weight loss, this is a possicle side effect, not everyone gains weight.
