Machine to check irregular heartbeat

Question

Asked for Male, 45 Years

I am suffering with atrial fibrillation. I use normal bp machine which only tells bp and pulse reading. It doesnt say if heart beat is normal or irregular. Is there a machine which can display irregular heart beat? Second question: i was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation and hyperthyroid at same time in December last year. I am still taking treatment for AF and hyperthyroid from Medanta hospital opd. My question is - is my AF and hypertgyroid interlinked? In case I am cured from hyperthyroid, will my AF will also be cured? Or both are different disease with no corelation.
