hypothyroid and chest pain

Posted By Angela on May 22, 1999 at 21:52:59
I am a 20 year old female. About six weeks back I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and was put on .025 synthroid. I had a problem with chest pain which I figured was indigestion, and after being on the synthroid for a couple of weeks it went away. But now it's back, only worse than before. I went to my general practioner, who gave me an EKG that turned out normal. She then put me on prevacid 15 mg. It has helped me with the indigestion a bit, but the chest pain remains. It tends to be a dullish pain right over my heart that sometimes radiates to my arm, shoulder and neck. Occasionally it becomes sharp, but not often. I know that hypothyroidism can cause muscle pains in just about any area of the body, but I also know that an EKG does not necessarily rule out heart disease, and heart disease and hypothyroidism can go hand in hand. So I guess what I am wondering is if this could be anything else that my doctor is perhaps not catching. Thanks.
