Hypothyroid causes tachycardia and palpatations. my doc told its a symp of hypert. there are somany posts online stating tachy with hypo?

It is your adrenals: If you are hypothyroid and still having tachycardia which is not due to too much thyroid meds, it could be that it is your adrenals trying to compensate by kicking out adrenaline. Consider caffiene sensitivity as a factor also.
