thyroid and chest pain

Hi there, I agree with Barb. You should call him and schedule a time to have blood work done again as soon as possible. Don't ignore chest pain! If you have thyroid nodules, ask him about those and how those can possibly effect hyper/hypo symptoms The nodules should not go unnoticed. Sometimes they can be nothing, and sometimes they can cause your hyper symptoms. Did he say why the thyroid uptake scan didn't work? Could you do another one? I hope you feel better soon.

The burning has been constant for a week now and pains usually at night. I have suffered chest pain with thyroid problems before, but this burning is causing me stress. Could it be related to increased dose, Which shows tsh dropping, but t4 rising?

Yes, some people suffer chest pain with Levo. Some have switched to Synthroid and gotten better results. I had chest pain before taking any thyroid meds. Now I'm on Synthroid, and the pain has eased significantly. Some have gone the natural route and taken drugs like Armour and Nature Thyroid. I have thought about taking natural drugs, but because of the shortage, I am sticking to my Synthroid.

s in a row and today I am experiencing chest pain at the top of my left breast slightly to the left of my sternum. It feels almost like a pulled muscle, like a slight burning along with the pain which comes and goes but is not tender to the touch. This has happened once or twice before (over 2 years ago) but I never looked into it. Can the event of having PAC's in a row cause chest pain? I plan on switching back to Synthroid instead of the generic next refill.

they sent me to a lung specalist who basically said it was nothing so i went back to my doctor he put me on meds for the diabetic and thyroid but the pain in chest/back has not stopped or the voice horseness either. Do i need a higher dosage of medicine? Or is there something else wrong? I never knew thyroid could cause chest/back pain?

Is it possible to have a goiter you cannot detect? I am having the unfortunate situation of having to self diagnose. I have been to dozens of doctors, have Grave's and Hashi's in my family- and have lots of health problems. Last year I had a shoulder surgery that has left me in more pain. I am wondering now if I may have a thyroid problem, undetected. I have posted a few times within the past couple of days. I finally have an endo appt. scheduled.

Meanwhile I developed tremors, heat intolerance, chest pain, and irritability. So I quit med on November 23 and repeated labs on nov 25. Labs were still high..TSH .02. T4 2.5. So doc said I did the right thing quitting the med and plans to recheck in January when all of med is out of my system. I'm still having light tremors and horrible chest pain. Could this still be from the little med I was taking or from the overactive thyroid? I just want the pain to stop. Feeling a little scared.

i had another severe episode of palpitations and sharp shooting pain in the chest with pain radiating to the arm with arm swelling and cooling of both my left hand and leg..i mean it became really chilled. let me see what the scan shows up today god bless you.

For a month now I have been treated for a sinus infection I am on a 2nd antibotic. I have had chest pain for a month now. I have had 2 EKG's and a CT brain scan and chest xrays and blood work done all the results have come back normal. I get tired easily I am 43 yrs old 150 pounds never had smoke or drank. 2 years ago when I asked my doctor why Im so tired he replied it is the start of premenopause. The fatigue has increased lately I nap almost every day when I can.

Hi, have been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation for nearly 2 years now and my problems appear to be getting worse, i am seeing my GP for a lump in my throat/chest, have to get a camera down to tummy to see whats happening, also now am getting a very funny sensation on my chest and down both arms so have been referred to a heart specialist?

I have had severe chest congestion, a sharp pain deep in the center of my chest, it causes shallow breathing because it hurts to breath in and causes a severe cough attack. This has returned 3 times now in the past three months. The first time I came down with this, I went to my primary care dr.

I was getting sharp chest pain and palpitations (racing heart). They tested my iron stores - Ferritin (18 very low!) and since I started taking an iron supplement, these symptoms went away - poof!

and heart palpitations.....and some times skip a beat..and chest tiredness..ived seen my doc too and he said that im normal...with my ecg and all...one of my friends said that maybe its just nerves..like i have panic disorder or anxiety probs..thats why i felt this way since i dont have any history with drinking and smoking too...well...maybe u are just experiencing that too....

Ok I'm dumb,i should have asked dr oro this, but I forgot. I have had several bouts of chest pain over the last year and my heart has been checked out and I've had several ct scans they could never find the cause. I do have a higher risk for blood clots but never have had one. I'm experiencing chest pain ib a band like sensation. Its like pressure. The worst part is in between my shoulder blades among the right side of my spine only. It hurts to breathe deep.

I have been having problems since Jan. 2009. Issues are PVC's, Tachy and Chest Pressure (in center of chest). I have had an EKG, NM Stress, echo and Cardiac PET scan, all of which are normal (I am a 41 year old overweight female). I have been advised "there is nothing wrong with my heart". GREAT!!!

Recently, an ultrasound on my thyroid showed there is a nodule there and my doctor has ordered further tests to see about this nodule and why I am losing weight for no reason. Could a thyroid problem be causing the chest tightening and breathing problems and pain? Since I have such a strong history of blockages and family history of heart disease and artery disease, could I possibly have a blockage in another organ in my body close to the chest or even in my chest.

I have pain that develops in my upper right arm, and spreads across the chest, to the back and on over to my upper left arm. It comes on suddenly with no precipitating events. It lasts only from about 15-30 seconds and is gone. During the event, I can hardly stand up and am extremely weak afterward. The only time we were able to reproduce the pain was during a chemical stress test just after the adenosine was administered. It happened immediately.

I just got back into running again and noticed after two blocks I got chest pain and skipping. I got away from running 10 weeks ago because I was experiencing this type of thing happening. I am 54 years of age and been running off and on in my life . I wanted to run the Montreal Marathon but trained too late and pushed it to 10 miles a day from 2 months training. Right now I am running only two miles.Never had this two years ago but got it when I started back running. Let me know what you think.

I am 33,and i have been haveing gas in my chest that keeps comeing back,my heart has been beating very fast.i am on propranolol for that,and it feels like no oxygen is getting to my body,i have had several blackouts.i've had my heart checked except the final test.what do you think this is?thank you.

Sorry took so long to respond been feeling like utter crap lately, the bank spasms and chest pain are bordering on ridiculous. Can I still have low cellular thyroid issues after a total thyroidectomy? I'm still waiting for a referral from my PCP to go see the Rheumy do have no answers to anything as of yet.

I don't smoke. I eat decently. I exercise. I don't have history of cancer in my family. But, I have a chest pain. It's severe, sometimes. It hurts right between my breast, especially when I breathe deeply (or it worsens when I do.) and when I press it, or put pressure there. Sometimes the pain actually moves to be more on my breast, or it will be right below, on my ribcage. Any ideas of what could be going on?

Surely they checked his thyroid levels. An elevated TSH can cause chest pains. and acid reflux can as well. Then when the chest hurts anxiety pops up, "is it a heart attack" and that can bring on even more chest pain. As much as possible, he needs to rest, and eat a bland diet for a few days. 72 is not too low for a glucose, but one hour after a meal might be a bit low. Check it again, one hour after a meal. But I don't think that would be the cause of chest pain.

I'm 16, have had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid completely removed. My most recent scans have showed growths throughout my chest area. Lately I have been having pains in my chest, and when I inhale deeply it feels like their is a bubble of air in my upper chest region trying to escape. Do you think its stress, or is it something to do with my cancer?

i was sent away without being told anything and was wondering if the pain in chest and the fact they wanted to scan chest twice could mean there could be some kind of lung metastisis? i am also told my radiation levels are still quite high after 5 days. any ideas would be great! Thankyou!

Not taking any meds for PCOs Please note that the pain is in my upper back, shoulder, neck, arm, elbow and chest. And the shifts; sometimes it is on the right side and other times it is on the left.

I woke up a few weeks ago at midnight with bad back pain and chest pain shortness of breath nausea ekg normal cardiac enzymes normal.
