Hello,
Please check your TFT to see if you are developing Hypothyroidism ( TSH will go high and T4 will come down). Your weight gain, pins and needles sensation etc can be due to that. Chest pain also could be that. Poking sensation in chest as if pricked by a needle is usually due to pleurisy ( inflammation of covering of lungs). However you must visit a doctor and get chest examination + ECG done. Please get TFT done soon
