If thyroid is low, it affects all body systems. It is best to get tested for thyroid function - T4 and TSH for a start. If borderline low, and your doc doesn't want to give thyroid supplement, go to integrative doctor who aims for optimal levels.
Guesswork on your part is no good. Even thyroid medical experts don't agree on many points of thyroid care. No good dosing yourself with iodine either. In many people, excess iodine can cause Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Best to just get prescription for porcine/bovine whole glandular, to maintain optimal thyroid hormone. This is underlying framework for letting the rest of your body's systems do their job, not least of which, your heart.
