Can levothyroxine cause chest pain?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: A dose higher than one needs may cause an elevation of the heart rate or blood pressure that causes the metabolic demand for oxygen by the heart to exceed the ability of the coronary arteries to supply the oxygen, leading to chest discomfort. Thyroid function tests, especially the TSH level, & evaluation by your doctor is prudent, especially if some underlying condition exists, unmasked by the rx.

No: Levothyroxine in appropriate doses should not cause any chest pain.
