Palpitation and hypothyroidism

[Bilqees]

Can hypothyroidism cause palpitation

[Marz]

Yes 😊 Perhaps you would like to share more information ...

Are you on Levothyroxine or trying to get diagnosed

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also extremely important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if Thyroid antibodies are raised

All thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting

Yes, esp if Free T3 is low.

Yes from me too. You can also get them if you are hyperthyroidic - that's the big problem in managing thyroid problems that critical point is difficult to get to but absolutely crucial. It took me two years of fiddling around, changing my doses, up then down, getting all of my vitamins and minerals optimal. I had to go manic on the whole thing for about 6 months - but I eventually got there.
