Patient's question:
My husband previously had hyperthyroidism, and it was normalized by taking traditional Chinese medicine. These past few days, he's feeling chest tightness and a stuffy throat, and I wonder if it's related to hyperthyroidism.Doctor's answer:
Elevated thyroid hormones can lead to this. In that case, it is recommended to have hormone tests. Pay attention to a light diet. In addition to the tests, pay attention to an ECG, and I need to have a chest X-ray. This would be better. Daily treatment is mainly symptomatic treatment. The patient can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Avoid excessive tension and get adequate rest.
