Hello
Thanks for your query.
As per your history the chest pain in all probability is because of your systemic diseases like osteoarthritis, thyroid disorder rather than having an isolated chest disease. You need to undergo a chest x-ray at least for better evaluation along with an ECG in all leads and lipid profile in order to assess the underlying heart condition as you are overweight. Do consult your rheumatologist and endocrinologist primarily and if investigation reports suggest something in the chest then you should consult a pulmonologist.
Thank you
