I am a 45-year-old healthy female. I could say for my self that I was in generally very healthy for all my life.
Bu lately I started to feel some discomfort during my normal breathing. First I thought it is some process on my bronchia like bronchitis or something similar.
I contacted my general practitioner and he said, after he examined me, that my bronchia and my lungs were clean and there is no inflammation process located on them.
But my symptoms stayed the same.
I also noticed that my difficult breathing is sometimes connected with stress and emotional pain.
I was wondering does anybody have an idea, what could cause this?
I have an idea because I felt same troubles like you two years ago.
An answer to your question is throid gland.
The throid gland is the biggest gland in the neck. It is situated in the anterior (front) neck below the skin and muscle layers.
The sole function of the throid is to make throid hormone which role is to regulate the body's metabolism.
There is one syndrome connected to throid gland and it is called Goiters.
This is a dramatic enlargement of the throid gland, which can
compress other vital structures of the neck including the trachea and the esophagus making breathing and swallowing difficult.
It can be cured with iod – J131 therapy very good and after a therapy all your symptoms will disappear. Surgery is the least common treatment selected for Goiters.
So, contact your endocrinologist and take some screening tests to determine what type of throid disorder you have and let him choose right therapy for you!
