Possibly, see Dr: Your thyroid med dose should be based on your body's hormone levels in response to treatment. If they are in check, it may not be the med. If not checked recently or not normal levels, can contribute to fast heart rate. See your dr for evaluation and bloodwork soon.

Endocrinologist: You need to see your endocrinologist and have some blood levels checked. It could be too high but other things can cause a rapid heart rate so you need confirmation.

Hi, I'm 20 and exercise regularly, but my resting heart rate is often 90 and gets to 120 just when walking. Is this normal? Last ECG was unremarkable.
