Hypothyroidism
Hello doctor. I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism in June 2018. I'm 21 years old now. I've been on Thyronorm 50. My old doctor uses to change the dosage based on my tsh levels. I changed my doctor on OCT 2019 and he had put me on 50 MCG. The dose hasn't changed since then. I've been getting heart palpitations every now and then. My resting heart rate remains stable between 60-80 but the moment I walk it increases a bit. These palpitations never occur on their own while I'm resting. They only happen when I move. It gradually goes away when I sit down. I've been getting terrible anxiety thinking I have got some nasty heart disease. I'm scared I will eventually get heart attack.

Palpitations can be bcos of iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis.
If tsh is high or normal then cause of palpitations is not due to thyroid issue or thyroid medication..
There are various reasons for it.
Can be anxiety neurosis, cardiac issues, hypoglycemia, phaechromocytoma.
Need detailed clinical and biochemical evaluation along with ecg.
