Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can do a thyroid function test and check the TSH and FT3 and FT4 level. Thyroxine dose can be adjusted based on TSH level and not based on heart rate. You can consult a cardiologist and get an ECG done to rule out any arrhythmia or abnormal waves and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
