Please do not adjust your levothyroxine dose (Synthroid or Thyronorm) back to 75 mcg on your own. Changing thyroid medication requires careful monitoring. While your body may just be adapting to the lower dose, any chest discomfort should be evaluated by a doctor promptly to ensure your safety. Please contact your healthcare provider right away so they can check your thyroid levels and safely evaluate this chest sensation.
