Hello doctor. I have hypothyroidism for the last 4 years. Currently, I am on Thyronorm 50. My thyroid profile is normal, and TSH is 2.1. Since June, I have been feeling occasional ectopic beats. I get a funny sensation in my chest followed by a hard beat, which then goes away. Is this due to my thyroid condition? This causes anxiety, which seems to trigger even more ectopic beats. Please help.

Your thyroid is well controlled (TSH 2.1) and is unlikely the cause of ectopic beats. Occasional ectopic beats are common and can increase with anxiety, caffeine, dehydration, or lack of sleep. Practice deep breathing and hydration, and limit tea/coffee to help reduce them. If palpitations become frequent, prolonged, or are associated with dizziness or chest pain, consult your doctor. You can book an ECG and Electrolytes test to check heart rhythm and rule out imbalances.

View allI recently had a full body check up, and some of the results indicate high TSH, high cholesterol, and a few other concerns. I would like to know which specialist I should consult to review my report and provide the best healthcare advice.

Please take a look at my blood report. My TSH level is high, but T3 and T4 are within the normal range. I have also been experiencing hair loss.
