I had had symptoms for a long time, but assumed many of them were neuro related and didn't report them. However, when my heart rate rose to 120 and wouldn't slow down and felt like it was going to come through my chest every time I laid down, I finally went to my family doctor. A simple blood test showed hyperthyroidism and medication for that and my heart rate have made me feel soooo much better.
