General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Thyroid drug causes an increase in contractions and relaxations of the heart muscle thereby increasing the heart rate, atrial, ventricular fibrillation, heart palpitations.

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

Take care
