A member asked:

Palpitations can be caused by chronic tonsillitis, hypothyroidism or gastroesophageal reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: None of the above. Any association with them is coincidental. However, you list panic attacks under "conditions" and there IS an association between that entity and palpitations. Trial of low dose beta blockade (like propranolol) help many with this condition - if they bother you enough to warrant use of a daily medication .
