Synthroid and frequent heart flutters

I was diagnosed with hashimotos disease about 6 months ago and put on .025mg of synthroid.  After a few months, I started to notice my heart flutter.  It eventually turned into a feeling that I experienced everyday...several times a day.  I had all the work up done by a cardiologist and nothing showed up.  My GP finally reduced my synthroid to half a pill.  When my numbers were checked a month later my TSH went up to 35!!!  But, my flutters went away.  My synthroid was increased again to .025mg and guess what is comming back...MY FLUTTERS!!  I want to know if there is anyone out there who is having or has had the same expierience.  I feel like no one that I know can relate and it scares me.

Was taking synthroid (Abbott); was switched (w/o notice) to generic (Sandoz) with 6 mo supply; and noticed the last 2 refills were switched to MOVA.  Have noticed changes lately; that of gagging, diarrhea, and other discomfort.  Have been treated for hypothroidism since 1999.  Any input most welcome.
