YYYYYY  <response>: Hi, Thanks for coming to ChatDoctorI can feel the pain you are going through since 2011Exhaustion and heart sore can be symptoms of uncontrolled hypothyroidism and complicated unresolved griffins thing to do is to do a thyroid hormone level T3, T4, TSH checked, if they are not normal, then the symptoms for which you are worried about are because of hypothyroidism.
