are you on synthroid ( thyroid meds) plus Tricor?

Hey everyone, are any of you on synthroid and on Tricor? If you have been reading my posts you will have seen that I have been having problems with shortness of breath and palputations,  Thinking it was my synthroid I started adjusting my dose. Then I did have a slight problem with peanut allergies.  After not eating peanuts, the breathing problems and palputations continued.  Last night I looked up the side effects of tricor ( I started them mid December) by Christmas the problems started.  Seems like the most common side effects are diffuculty breathing , shortness of breath and palputations. Most Hashimoto patients have high cholsetrol, due  to the disease, not by what your eating. and I hope this post helps anyone that happens to be taking both. Me myself, I am stopping the Tricor today.

Tricor is a cholestol lowering drug, nothing to do with insurance

Do you mean tricare the military insurance? If so you can get  referral from  your doc to see an endocrinologist that specializes in thyroids. I am on Tricare so if you have any questions or need some help just let me know
