Does anyone know the effects of having both COPD and hypothyroidism?

I have hypothyroidism and have recently been diagnosed with COPD/Emphysema. I was wondering if anyone would know about both conditions together. I do know the hypo thyroids already slow the body to some extent but, I am curious about if a person has both. Anything you can share would be appreciated.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again

    If you have COPD as well as hypothyroidism and taking the proper dose of thyroxin sulphate( avoid other salt of thyroxin) Than their is not much to worry about. But incorrect dose of thyroxin may play havoc.COPD & hypo thyroidisn has no direct relation but hypo or hyper thyroidism has a very specific role to play with the rate of respiration and from here the relation starts in between.Keep checking your TSH level atleast once in 4 months.

    This is a question that would only be appropriately answered by your doctor that is familiar with your particular diagnoses and the severity of your condition(s).
