Can you tell me more about your mom's symptoms? Last fall, my mom suddenly became out of breath, very tired, and gained 20 lbs. This all happened after she started using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea (due to obesity) and a trip where she caught a common cold. She's had her heart checked out thoroughly, her lungs checked out, the CPAP machine is calibrated correctly, and the doctors are telling my mom to lose weight. Well, of course! But because of her new symptoms, she can't even walk to the end of her driveway any more, let alone think about losing weight. She knows she needs to lose weight and I think this has finally scared her some.
Anyway, do you know what blood tests need to be run to test for thyroid problems? I know most doctors run a standard test which isn't the right one--there's a more detailed one that should be run, but I can't remember what it's called.
Thanks!

I'll have to ask whether they put her on a monitor or not. I don't remember her telling me about it. Thanks for the idea!
