Some medical conditions that could cause
palpitations are, among others, anemia,
anxiety, thyroid problems, and
hypoglicemia (low blood sugar). According
to the data you've given, and the fact
that you've been diagnosed with
hypothyreosis , it seems probable that
your difficulties could be the result of
the hypofunction of the thyroid gland,
usually followed by anemia. However, you
may perform a laboratory examination and
check up on the status of the thyroid.
You can consult an internal medicine
specialist in order to request such an
exam and to follow up on the condition.
