I've been told even by cardiologist that only HYPER people get skipped beats, etc.
But from things I've read online so do HYPO people!
I've been getting "skipped beats" specifically PVCs picked up by Holter in April, since March 18th, 2015. The exact same time my throat started feeling "closed", etc.

Which that ended up being my thyroid after all!
After being told by COUNTLESS doctors that my TSH "wasn't high enough to be hypo"

I still get the skips,
Had echo, holter, event monitor, 18+ ekgs.

So my MAIN question is:
Are there any other people out there with HYPO that suffer from PVCs/PACs?

I used to get terrible tachycardia and palpitations when I was hyper. When I was severely hypo, I didn't notice any irregularties other than bradycardia.

Hi,

I was alerted, back in 2009, by my primary care doctor, that my thyroid levels were bad. I finally saw my doctor, and he referred me to an Endo doctor. They had a scan of my thyroid and determined that I had Graves. I was given a radioactive iodine pill, which dropped me to hypo. So now I'm on one Levothy, pill a day.

From 2009 to mid 2011, I never had any heart pals. Now I get them every night. No kidding, and sometimes it scares me. To be frank, I get tired of these doctors trying to box every patient into the same package. I apparantly have hypo now, and I get them. So, nobody, doctor or not, can tell me that a hypo thy doesn't experience pals. I do, every night, and sometimes in the day.

Honestly, I've watched Mystery Diagnoses many times. Doctors do not have all the answers. Yes, they understand quite a bit. However, every person is an individual is just that. An individual. And not every body responds to a condition the same way. There may be patterns that are related, but we all have different immune systems, and sometimes, what affects me, may not affect you the same way.

I do get palpations, and I really believe they come from my hypo thy.

I get these too! Although I have been told I have no sugar issues, I seem to notice these after eating carb rich or sugary foods. I am hypothyroid.

I would get terrible heart palps + anziety, when hyPO......... and on t4 meds only.

Give me some T3, and lower my TSH, heart feels great.

Yep, I'm one of them too!! It's true, and your Dr is WRONG.

I get them quite a bit too, but I don't understand if I'm hyper or hypo. Adrenal issues can cause palpitations too. There is defintely some type of relationship with the thyroid and adrenals.

Back at the end of summer i started having aunt weird symptoms. I had pain in my limbs, low energy and tachycardia episodes almost nightly. I would wake up at 4 in the morning with my heart racing, my breathing off and sometimes my limbs felt like they were on fire. Thought it was my blood pressure but when I got tested they said my thyroid was off. My tsh was and still is high so I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism even though most of my symptoms fit into the hyperthyroidism category. I'm on levothyroxine and even though subtribe's I feel like my heart is a little fast, I haven't had a tachycardiac episode *knock on wood*. I think it was also making me hypoglycemic. I felt like of I didn't even every few hours I would feel sick. It eventually got better on the meds, but we're still trying to figure out the proper dose and if I'm converting correctly.
