Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The TSH level that you quoted is normal and it is unlikely that the thyroid gland is contributing to your present complaint of palpitations.
Palpitations are abnormal rhythms or rates of the heart. In the normal heart beat, a signal or stimulus arises from a specific part of the heart, travels along a specific pathway to stimulate the rest of the heart to beat.

Palpitations occur if (1) the signal occurs or starts at another aspect of the heart (2) the signal starts at different rate or rhythm than normal (3) the signal travels along a different pathway (4) there is any blockage along the normal pathway

This can occur for different reasons such as a problem with the structure or signalling in the heart, anemia, side effect of medication, electrolyte abnormalities, other chronic illnesses.

You may want to visit your doctor regarding these palpitations, he or she may do another ECG and do blood tests to check your blood count and electrolyte levels.

I hope this helps
