I suffer hypothiroidism and my doctor prescribed me eutirox, 6 months later i got tachycardias and am using amiodarona but i have more tachycardias?

Amiodarone: Amiodarone has a high concentration of iodine which can induce a destructive thyroiditis which can initially cause hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism. In the case of preexisting autoimmune thyroid disease, it can add "fuel to the fire" worsening the disease process.
