Some time heart beats faster.

Hi,
My mother has thyroid and she is taking medicine from last 2 years. Some time her heart beats very fast and she remove woolen clothes and complains she is feeling hot like summers. I have asked the same to doctor and she has given some medicines for controlling heart beats. But i am not able to see any result. Please help me why it is happening so ?

From what I understand thyroid issues can cause heart beat irregularities especially a fast heart beat.  Hopefully if they can get her thyroid regulated it will regulate the heart rate as well.  I would have her bring up her symptoms to her endocrinologist to see if the medicine is contributing.  You may also want to post this in the Thyroid Disorders section to see what others with the condition have to say.  http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Thyroid-Disorders/show/73
