Hello,
Brief Answer: Abnormalities of the hypothyroid may cause dizziness as a symptom and chest pain.
Detailed Answer:
High BP is the most common cause of chest pain. The pain may dissipate as BP returns to normal.
Dizziness can be a side effect of some blood pressure medications, it is not caused by high blood pressure.
Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination and trouble walking are all warning signs of a stroke. High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for stroke.
Hypothyroidism can affect the heart and circulatory system in a number of ways.
If you're at risk of heart disease and have symptoms of hypothyroidism, ask your primary care provider or cardiologist to consider testing your thyroid function. A simple blood test is usually all that's needed. If the results show that your thyroid isn't working normally, treatment may improve your heart-related problems.
Inderal (Propranolol) Is used to treat high blood pressure control heart rhythm and relieve chest pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
