Can factitious hyperthyroidism caused atrial fib be reversed by reducing synthroid correcting hyperthyroid?

Best is to consult a cardiologist for guidance, as there are treatments for atrial fibrillation, and thyroid lab studies should provide direction for your synthroid dose, if it is causing cardiac irregularities.
