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).

View allI am 77 years old and have a history of type 2 diabetes for the past 32 years, hypertension, and thyroid issues. My creatinine is varying around 1.55, and my conditions are generally controlled with medication, though there are reasonable variations. My blood pressure also fluctuates. However, my pulse rate is always higher than normal, within a range of 90 to 100. I also experience fatigue most of the time. Can you please explain the reason for this, its effects, and possible remedies? Thank you.

I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?
