Hello,
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that rapid heart rate after thyroidectomy can be because of anxiety, anaemia, dehydration or nutritional deficiencies.
Kindly get an ECG, CBC, serum V -B12 done and consult a physician personally for physical and diagnostic evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
