Is it normal to have heart palpitations on and off a few days out of the month? could hypothyroid cause this?

Dr. Manjeet Singh answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

No: You should see a cardiologist to evaluate these episodes of palpitations. This could be a manifestation of your thyroid disease but you should get an evaluation.
