Thanks, this helps.

was: Heart flutters returned!!!/rapid heart

rate and hypothyroidism

I am one (as is one of my sisters) who had a RAPID heartrate with

hypothyroidism. Mine always ran in the mid-90's before treatment with Armour.

It now stays around 80 or so. The doctors would say that I could NOT be hypo as

my heart rate was too fast, despite other symptoms and antibodies.

Another problem was having bursts of tachycardia with the hypo, as well as

premature ventricular contractions (PVC's) and premature atrial contractions

(PAC's).

These problems greatly diminish with adequate treatment, for me.

Blood pressure was low, historically, but the last year or two had been

creeping up to around 130's over 80-90's or so. It now runs around 110/70.
