Why Does My Heart Beats Fast And Harder?
About a month ago I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. The dr prescribed 40mg tapazole and 50mg toprol. I had about a months supply. After I'd finished the medicine I still have a steady rapid heart rate. My heart beats fast all the time and when Im physically active (running, walk fast etc) my heart not only beats fast but it beats harder. What's wrong with me?

hello,
Thanks for using HCM.I have gone through your query.
Basically Hyperthyroidism needs long duration treatment atleast for a year or two.You should not stop or finish medicnes in month.If your symptoms are still persistent with continuous medications you need to step up the dose.So restart medicines if you have stopped and increase dose if you are already taking regularyl,
My best wishes
