Hashimoto's thyroidi: Hashimoto's thyroiditis causes an underactive thyroid and doesn't generally affect the heart rhythm unlike an overactive thyroid which often does raise the heart rate and may cause palpitations. Since Hashimoto's thyroiditis is normally treated with thyroid supplements, palpitations can result from higher than needed doses. Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, heart valve abnormalities and anxiety can.

Related: Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis often start off with symptoms like palpitations, anxiety, sweats, and diarrhea, due to overproduction (excess) of thyroid hormone. As thyroid burns out from autoantibodies destroying it, patients transition to symptoms of low thyroid (hypothyroidism). Your doctor should be able to to order lab tests +/- radiologic studies to confirm diagnosis and treat you.
