What Causes Heart Palpitations When Diagnosed With Hashimoto S Thyroiditis?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis. My lab results from about month showed that my TSH, T3 and T4 have gone respectively gone down and up to an acceptable normal range. The only thing high is the level of my antibodies, which is to be expected. I noticed recently that I get sudden heart palpitations, if you can call it that. My heart just beats so fast at a point where I can clearly feel it. Is there any explanations for it?

Hello,
Palpitations can be a sign of hyperthyroidism.
Consult a physician and get evaluated.
A thyroid function test is mandatory to rule out hormonal changes.
