What Causes Heart Palpitations With An Urge To Cough?

I am a 33 y/o female and the only medication I take is Zoloft for anxiety. I have been having heart palpitations for years now but recently I have been having heart palpitations with an urge to cough and weakness when these episodes arise. I have put on about around 15 pounds in the last year and I stay tired all the time and also have a skin rash. I was thinking it may be my thyroid. I do not drink alot of caffine, actually I drink less caffine now than I did 6 months ago. Is this something I need to worry about?

Check your thyroid. It seems you are hypothyroid.
Hypothyroid patients can have palpitations in form of arrhythmias. You need to have a ECG at the time of palpitation. Get back with further report and details. Cough with palpitation has not got much significance.
