PVC's and thyroid disease

Posted By Laura on April 29, 1998 at 18:09:06:







Dear Doctor,
Last October I was having heart palpatations and feeling terrible.  I went
to a heart doctor and had an EKG and an Echocardiogram.  It looked normal.
In Decemeber 1997 I was finally diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (graves Dis)
I got the radioactive iodine on Dec. 24th and my levels crashed around Feb.
I soon got the PVC's again. I am now hypo thyroid and they are trying to
regulate my levels. I wore a heart monitor 2 weeks ago and they say I
am having frequent PVC's.  Singles & doubles. Could it be from the
thyroid problem and being low on thyroid? I know hyper thyroid causes
heart palpatations but could my body be trying to regulate and it's
bringing on these PVC's?  Thank you for your help!  Laura
