Overview
Bertha is a 71-year-old woman who takes daily medication for Hashimoto thyroiditis. Last winter, she developed pneumonia. Although she did her best to run errands for her husband, she got tired easily and needed to rest frequently. One day, after shoveling the snow outside, her husband came inside to find Bertha lying on the sofa covered in blankets. Her face appeared puffy, and her eyelids hung. When he spoke to her, Bertha’s voice was hoarse, and her words did not make sense to him. Her respirations were also shallow and slow. Suspecting low thyroid hormone levels were causing the signs, her husband called for an ambulance. Her face was puffy, and her eyelids drooped. Bertha’s voice was hoarse when he spoke to her, and her words made no sense to him. Her breathing was also shallow and slow. Her husband called an ambulance because he suspected low thyroid hormone levels were causing the symptoms.
