Posted in: Hypothyroidism, and General Discussion.
I went to the doctor 7-22 and found out that I had a heart attack. Today I found out I have low thyroid levels. I start taking synthroid tomorrow. I am having such pain in my chest, how will I know if I am having adverse reactions from the synthroid?
I am on the lowest dose to start off with. I have this chest pain so frequently I don't know when to go to the hospital, call my doctor, or ignore it.
Any suggestions?

I AM NOT A DOCTOR, but I can tell you that, as a chronic pain patient with hypothyroidism and now, type I diabetes (at 50!) I've learned from my pain specialist that the thyroid out of balance either way affects your level of pain. You have heart issues, and I know that the thyroid can also affect that. It's great that they found the deficiency. I know a couple of other sites that deal with hypothyroid and pain issues. (I have to dig them out.) In the meantime, good luck. You will notice a difference within a couple of weeks if you are on the right dose of synthroid. Fear not! There are many people out there that you can learn from, just as I do every chance I get.
