Suggest Remedy For Heart Palpitations
Question: Please Help, I'm up right now after 2am because I woke up with heart papilations. It started one week ago.
I've already been to the Emergency Room, last Saturday night with the same systoms.
They did an EKG and had me on a heart monitor for sometime. They also did blood work and
Said there was no damage to my heart . I had a little sinus congestion and cough so they
Thought maybe it was because I was sick, that my heart reacted that way. Well now a week later
It's still happening. I awoke with a pulse rate of 144, I am on Levothroine for thyroid care and have been experiencing high hormones for awhile. I ended my periods 8 hrs ago. Very frightened by these night heart papilations, cannot sleep. It seems as soon as I lay down I awake with papilations. I've been on this medication for awhile but for awhile now I've noticed some differences with my heart. I seem to feel it more going up and down stairs and hear it when I lay down at night. This was all before these papilations started. Please Help! Thank You so much!

Brief Answer:
Need thyroid tests
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
I would advise you to check you thyroid hormones again.
If you have had heart monitor and there was no arrhythmia, your palpitations can be connected with thyroid hormone elevated levels. In this case there will be a need for dose correction. It is common situation in patients with thyroid problems.
Hope I could help you
Wish you a good health
