Hi,

Hyperhyroidism may can cause palpitations but it may not cause leaky heart valve. It may be due to myocardial or valvular problem seen in old age or hypertension or ischemic heart disease, etc.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Check it out that you may be suffering from drug induced hyperhyroidism. If symptoms not improved please consult your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
