Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have chest tightness. Your EKG and echocardiography are normal so it is not due to cardiac cause.
You also have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can leads to chest tightness.
You should check your T3, T4 and TSH level. Then start thyroid supplements like synthroid or eltroxin.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
