Can Abnormal Thyroid Cause Heart Palpitation And Bundle Branch Block?
Hi i have been diagnosed with left bundle branch block. I am 47 years old female and never smoke or drank or drugs. Also have abnormal thyroid results 5.34 have been back and forth hypo and hyper thyroid many times. Can this be a link to heart palpatations and perhaps the bundle branch block. Im a nervous wreck and scared to death. Please shed some light. I am not having light headedness or short of breath. Just lots of panic attacks. :(
