Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You should see a cardiologist.

One cause - thyroid has been excluded.

there are several others, any one of which may be responsible - Anxiety / Alcohol / Tobacco (smoking) / Caffeine (too much coffee, cola) / Medicines like Phenylephrine used for ‘cold’ / Salbutamol used for asthma / Illicit ‘drugs’ like Amphetamine / anaemia - the list is long.
At times, abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) are responsible!

You must get examined / investigated...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
