Hyperthyroidism : Anxiety and palpitations or sensing your heartbeat can be common with hyperthyroidism- sometimes these symptoms can be treated short- term with another medication ( often a beta- blocker if no contraindications)- I’d give your doc a call to see if an additional med can help in the interim.
