Hi,
Palpitations can be caused by your thyroid problems as well.
To find out the type of arrhythmia you have and the cause I would advise you to undergo holter monitoring (a test during which 24 hour ECG is recorded) and check serum electrolytes. Electrolytes come back normal I would advise you to undergo echocardiography if you didn't have it recently.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
