No, you just do not get palpitations with an overactive thyroid gland, you get those too with an undertreated/undiagnosed thyroid gland
Get a print-out of your blood test results with the ranges and post on a new question for someone to comment. You have clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism so I hope he has prescribed some medication for you. Please tell us the dose he has started you on. He should also made an appointment for you to go back in 6 weeks for another blood test and raise in meds.
