I have hypothyroidism. Lately, I ve been having chest pains, a tight pressure in my chest with a dull ache. It comes and goes pretty often. Sometimes I can feel my heart pounding in my chest, shoulders, and throat. My pulse is between 85 and 125 whether I m resting or not. I have a Dr appointment. I just need to know if it s an emergency enough not to wait 2 weeks for it.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rush to hospital and rule out heart diseases for your symptoms because 2 weeks time is too much.  You are having high pulse rate, chest tightness, chest pressure (pounding). And all these can be seen in heart diseases like hypertension, arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and coronary artery disease. So better to consult emergency room and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG) time rule out above-mentioned heart diseases. Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
