What Causes A Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?

About 4 months ago, I went to the emergency room thinking I had something wrong with my heart. My blood pressure went up over 200. All my heart tests came out good. The doctor said my thyroid was not working. I had a strong fluttering in the heart, a feeling of something squeezing my arms and chest, pressure on my eyes, dry skin, hair falling out pains in my hand, weakness in my hands, a gravely voice, extreme coldness. tiredness, and can never lose weight. I was prescribed a low dose of levothyroxine. The first few weeks of taking it I felt great, then things started returning back as I felt before only with more muscle pain in my shoulder area. After taking the levothyroxine for 3 months, my blood test on T4 can out normal. I am still taking the levothyroxine. Is it possible that the hormone is not being utilized in my body or that I may be allergic to the medicine? I am only taking a .05MG of the levothyroxine. I have read that it can also cause the same symptons that hypothyroidism causes. Is that true?

you are suffering from hypothyroidism ... if your thyroid t3 t4 levels are coming to be normal now then no need to increase dose but get your heart check up once again and your serum ca levels too.. it takes time to get in the normal state as it effests your body in different ways
