Hi Shortstack,
This is a question only YOUR doctor can answer for you. We cannot determine what the cause of your chest pain is.

I too have been concerned with feeling breathless ( but not short of breath ). I have begun to think that in my case, it may be associated with my heart rate. With Inderal, it is at 100 BPM. That is twice what it was pre-hyperthyroidism.

Hi Renae:

Yes I had breathlessness especially before starting the antithyroid med. Also had it when I was severely anemic owing to blood loss before my hysterectomy.

Good luck,

Hope

Does it feel liek your heart is racing and your chest is tight at teh same time? How’s your pulse? Rapid heart rate and overexertion (sometimes something that once was extremely simple, like walking from the front door to the mailbox becomes very draining) can make it harder to breathe and harder to catch your breath. I still have this trouble when I go up and down the stairs in our house, especially when I’m making repeated trips to do laundry.

I don’t have any words of wisdom for you that relate to your thyroid disease, but I would urge you to be aggressive in getting your doctor to find out what IS causing it. Breathlessness is nothing to mess with, it can signal all kinds of conditions. If your thyroid levels are normal, then something else is going on that needs to be treated, and I wouldn’t wait if I were you.
