Hi Thyroid medications can cause extrasystole or abnormal impulses What does your holter report suggest ? Based on the frequency and the type of these extraimpulses further management can be planned
If the nature of these impulses in benign , no further management many be required. Sometimes we prescribed drugs called beta blockers to curb these impulses if they are causing a lot trouble
If you can share the holter report , we can plan your further management
