What Causes Chest Pain After Having Thyronorm 25?
Thanks. My querry is: I am 77 years old man and recently my doctor prescribed Thyronorm 25 once a day. Now I experience pain in my chest if I sleep either left or right side. But If I lie or sleep flat and stand or sit, the pain goes after 5 to 10 minutes. I also take Genvast. I consume a limited amount of alcohol daily. Please guide me what is wrong with me.....

Hi,
Thyroxine can increase heart rate and basal metabolic rate of the body. Palpitations, tremors, anxiety can occur as side effects. I would suggest you to take an ECG to check your cardiac status. I also suggest consulting your doctor to assess if any dose reduction of thyroxine is required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
