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.

Yes. May be best/only way to treat it. If that is what is causing AFib. Some may use BB as well. Discuss.
