It is important to note that
shortness of breath can have many causes, so this symptom alone is not usually a sign of
thiamine deficiency. Heart failure caused by
thiamine deficiency can cause
breathlessness. This can occur when fluid accumulates in the lungs.Clinical studies have shown that
vitamin B1 might be associated with cardiovascular diseases (Wilkinson et al., 1997).
Vitamin B1 supplementation was reported to
reduce blood pressure, especial in patients combined with hyperglycemia (Alaei-Shahmiri et al., 2015).
