A member asked:
What causes chest pain? hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism? i want to increase my methimazole dose but im afraid my chest pain might get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperthyroid: Both can cause it although hyperthyroid is much more likely to cause chest pain. Don't change your medication without discussing with your doctor first.
