Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
Thyroid hormones increase the basal metabolic rate (oxygen utilization in an individual during minimal physiologic activity). The hormones also increase the heart rate to meet up with the metabolic needs of the tissues. I would suggest you do the thyroid test or see an endocrinologist for proper assessment.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
