I have an apart with cardiologist on wed, however, I have been experiencing twinges lack of better term in my left chest are. Not center, left. Not bad, just slight. Could it be related?
Your thyroid medications may need to be increased and the bradycardia could have been from the hypothyroidism, but you need the cardiological workup with an echocardiogram and a Holter monitor to see if this is a primary cardiac problem
