Endocrinologist 's  Response
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your concern.
If the thyroid hormonal level is within the normal ranges with 4 mg methimazol than you should not have high heart rate. If the tachycardia persists probably the dose of methimazol should be raised,but first check the thyroid hormones.
Once the normal ranges of TSH, FT4 and FT3 are reached than you can drink 1 glass of wine/day.
