A Couple of Questions

[wells1028]

I have not yet been tested, but I suspect that I have hypothyroidism.  For the last two days I have been checking my temperature throughout the day & it runs from 96.2 to 97.7.  Is a consistently low temp a sure sign of hypothyroidism?

I know that with hypothyroidism your heart rate usually runs low, but mine seems to be fast/pounding.  Does this rule out hypothyroidism?

I have been having chest pain & shortness of breath for a while now.  I know that it is not my heart because I have had a 24 hr. holter monitor & an echo.  When these tests came out fine the doctor said that it was just "anxiety".  Could the chest pain & shortness of breath be a symptom of hypothyroidism?

I have also been having some other symptoms: no matter how hard I try I cannot lose any weight after having a baby 5 months ago(I weigh the same as I did when I left the hospital), IBS symptoms, fatigue, no energy, heavy, frequent periods (every 3 weeks), nausea, just don't feel good, frequent sinus infecions(never had before).  

Thank you in advance for any info anyone can offer.  Obviously, these symptoms are very disturbing.
