What is the right dosage of Synthroid?
Patient: I have shortness of breath when I walk uphill or carry anything reasonably heavy. I have mild asthma and use one puff a day of synthroid. I also have a slightly stiff heart muscle. The medication for the synthroid was twice a day but I have been using it only once. My question is will my condition be aleviated if I use it twice. Other than that I am in excellent health I am also 86 years old stlll doing everything I did when I was younger. I can also remember what I did when I was younger????? Doctor: Hello,  Twice daily dose will be better. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
