Question

I have been treating thyroid for many years, but for the last few months, it has not been well controlled. My medicine dose was recently increased as per my doctor advice. However, I am experiencing mild chest tightness and discomfort most of the time, with no other symptoms.

Uncontrolled thyroid (especially hypothyroidism) can cause muscle tightness, chest discomfort, or anxiety like symptoms. If the chest discomfort is mild and not accompanied by pain, breathlessness, or dizziness, it may be thyroid or muscular related. If persistent, get heart and thyroid levels re evaluated. Make sure you are taking thyroid medicine correctly (empty stomach, same time daily).
