What Causes Dizziness And Rapid Heart Rate While Exercising?
I am 47, breast cancer history and treatment for hashimotos. I notice that while exercising I get very dizzy especially when raising my arms over my head. My heart feels like it is beating too fast even when the exercise is not very intense. I am 5'4" 148lbs.

I would like to know the medications you are on for Hoshimoto’s thyroiditis. In the most probable scenario, you are on levothyroxine.
Increase in heart rate and feeling dizzy can be due to increase in levothyroxine dose. If you were my patient, I would fine tune the dosage of levothyroxine to keep the thyroid hormone levels in the normal range.
Hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
