Hyperthyroid: Excess thyroid hormones have a stimulant effect on the heart. Women with an underlying cardiac disease will have chest pain when these hormones aggravate it. See a cardiologist or go to the ER. Chest pain can be dangerous or it can be as benign as heartburn. No way to know until you get checked out.
