What Causes Shoulder Ache When Suffering From Anxiety And Obesity?

hi. I am 51 year old female. I haven t exercised in years. I am about 50 pounds over weight and have been trying to lose the weight for the past three months with exercise on a daily basis. I never have heart pain while working out. I am under a tremendous amount of stress at work and home. I have extremely high anxiety and am only on a small dose of metoprolol and a thyroid pill because I no longer have a thyroid. when I am calm my blood pressure is normal. but when I am anxious it can go up to stroke level very easily. and my left shoulder hurts. could I have a clogged artery or do you think I just have anxiety and need to get this stubborn weight off and and get something for my nerves.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I believe you need to talk to your endocrinologist about levothyroxine dosage intake because it may be the reason for chest pain and tachycardia.

It may be hyperthyrosis because of large dosage of levothyroxine more than anxiety.

Losing weight is advisable doing moderate physical activity and low carbohydrates and fat.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
