Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

There could be several reasons –thyroid is only one...
You need more investigations..

     HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) is done to analyse and plan for further management, if a routine ECG does not show. It may also detect silent (no symptom) ischemia.
     ECHOcardiogram is necessary to see the heart valves (Mitral Valve Prolapse) / heart muscle (Cardiomyopathy) and heart function (Ejection fraction, wall motion abnormality) / clots...
      TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG / may be with thallium isotope) is necessary to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease)

See a cardiologist

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
