Hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Normal heart rate varies between 60 to 100.so 92 is not very high.you must check your thyroid function and adjust the dose of eltroxin.mostly your symptoms are due to slight overdose of eltroxin and you may need to reduce dose .
Also take care of stress and low hemoglobin if any.
My best wishes
Dr.RajeshTeli,,MD.
