Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed your history that you have provided along with your list of medical conditions and medications you are on including methotrexate and depomedrol.
To the best of my knowledge there is no published medical literature that has shown a low thyroid to be the cause of an episode of atrial tachycardia.
On the contrary, it is typically an overactive thyroid, in which case the TSH is low and thyroid hormone levels are high, that is associated with heart rhythm irregularities
