What Causes Chest Tightness And Shortness Of Breath?
I went to the doctor this week because I was having chest tightness and shortness of breath. The doc ran several blood tests and determined I had hypothyroidism. I just started levothyroxine on Wed.. I still am having chest tightness and some pain in my sternum, especially when pressed upon and I do still have some shortness of breath though this comes and goes. Is this due to the hypothyroidism or should I go back to the doctor and get this checked out?
