CONSTANT HEADACHES,LIGHT HEADED,HARD BREATHING

For about 4 months I have been having constant headaches,which aren't as often as before along with always feeling lightheaded.Being in warm temperatures seems to make me feel worse also.For about a week I have random times where its hard for me to breathe and my heart races to about 120 beats per minute.I also get random chest pain.
I do have a thyroid condition graves disease i take levothyroxine and my thyroid levels are normal when i got checked.i went to the emergency room and they tested my blood for anemic thyroid levels alot of other things and they all came out normal.I have also gotten a CT scan done and it came back normal,they also did an xray of my spine and that came out normal the only thing they said was my upper disk in my spine was a little straighter then normal but they didnt seem to think that could be the issue.this is getting really frustrating and i would like some advice on where to go from here.or if anyone has any ideas on what will help.thanks

Hello Dear,
The levels cannot be predicted as fluctuations are common.Birth control pills do cause headaches,you should consult a gynaecologist regarding this.

Do you think im going to need to get my level higher or lower? I also do take birth control so should i stop taking that?could that be the affect of my problems?

Hello Dear,
            Although your thyroid hormone levels are normal, you should consult an endocrinologist and get your dose of levothyroxine adjusted as fluctuations in your hormone levels may be the cause of your headache.Do not worry and good luck.
