Daviespat, do you have the thyroid results and ranges (figures in brackets) from the blood tests you were having 2 months ago?
At a little younger I find I have to be up three or four times a night but that is not unusual for males! As to chest pains it may be that you need a low dose beta blocker as I did soon after starting on levothyroxine. I think the thyroxine speeds up the metabolism and leads to other problems surfacing. If you have not had your heart / veins checked you should discuss with your GP.
