Because reference ranges vary from lab to lab, please post the ranges for the lab results posted above.  

Are the T4 and T3, Free T4 and Free T3 or Total T4 and Total T3?  They aren't the same tests and don't provide the same information.  It should specify on your lab report.  If not, they will be Total T4 and Total T3...

I'm sorry, but we are not doctors and can not tell you whether or not you should continue your medication.  We can only read the information you give us and make suggestions based on that.  

Before we can make further suggestions, we will need to know the reference ranges for the labs posted.

From what you're telling us, it sounds like you don't have a heart issue so the pain is caused by something else... is that what they tell you?  

You stated that "Now my TSH T3 T4 are normal with Medication of 100 mcg."  Is that thyroid medication, such as levothyroxine? How long have you been on that dosage?

If you've had Free T4 and Free T3 tested, please provide those test results and their reference ranges so we can see what your levels are.  Just because they fall within the normal ranges doesn't mean they are normal for you. Perhaps they are lower or higher than your body likes them to be.  T4 and T3 are more important than TSH...

What were you taking the aceclofenac and diclofenac for?  Are you still taking it?

What foods did you become allergic to?  Can you eat those foods now?

I used to take diclofenac or aceclofenac once or twice .single tablet for my upper back pain in a year .not regularly.because I am a computer engineer.but away from work from 2 years after allergy and and all these episode of sleep disorder First I thoougt I could be asprin allergy (acetyl sallicylate )or NSAID. But 2 month back I Tried one asprin  tablet  because lots of pain in my deep chest like inflammed heart. First I took a small granule of it after breaking it.then waited after finding easy .I took the tablet..So it cant be said asprin allergy. About food ,First I observed itching with turmeric milk ,used to relieve from pain in the night.I was pretty used to take it .but in evening  I Tried ibrufen which caused me symptom same as diclo/aceclofenac.In my childhood Doctor used to prescribe these tablets too for two days for any sport injury.Nothing happened that time.But sudden allergies to these tablets.was giving me extreme stress with no findings. Then I observed mild itch with every food.but I didnt stop eating.now I am taking all with very very mild itch for 20 30 min.guess desensitized.I could be sallicylic acid allergy.
The period I went through all this I had high high fear of what happening.One day before I was king other day I felt fear pity on my life. And all started with in 20 30 days.concerning heart ache.
I can observe pain is in my heart .feel pain while lying dwn aswell now .I can feel painful pump or forceful with a minor shake if hold anything like mobile.
TSH 2.44 uIU/ml
T3      119  ng/dl
T4      10.3 ng/dl
At present tested with morning medication of 100mcg.
Should I continue 100 mcg. Pain still deep below apex area.and feel easily pain outside just a slight  prescribe and forceful beat there.
Press not prescribe *

What test was 750 instead of 7.50?  What that a TSH test?  If so, was it the only thyroid related test that was done?  What about Free T4 and Free T3?  Those are the actual thyroid hormones.  If you had those tested what were the results and their reference ranges?  

Hypothyroidism can affect the heart if it's not treated properly.  Have you had any heart-related tests done?  If so, what tests and what were the results?
