Do you have Hashimotos and tachycardia (fast heart rate)

Hi I posted previously but was told maybe this might work to get a better answer....
I am 26 I had a baby in NOV 06' ever since I have not felt right I started getting palapitations and had an episode of SVT went to the er my tyroid test showed 6.2 which showed HYPO, I dont know the name of all the tests I think that test was a tsh I think thats right but agian not sure...so went back to my regular doc and she rechecked my thyroid free t3 and t4 which the one for HYPO was .1 away from not being with in normal range and she said it was fine.....showing .1 away from having HYPO and then showing HYPO in the ER would indicate to me further testing would need to be done....THEN I started with a high heart rate 24 hours a day not episodes but when sitting it is around 100+ and then when my feet hit the floor can go as high as 180 depending on what im doing, I mean dishes bathing kids etc...NOT NORMAL I am exhausted by the end of the day. I have had my heart cleared at clevland heart clinic I had mild regurgitation in my tricuspid and pulmonary valves which they said was not causing the high heart rate needed to look into thryroid and IST and POTS for a diagnosis. And now I am having trouble swallowing and some pain in the right side of my neck....anyway the heart rate is effecting my quality of life and I have a docs apt but they would not get me in until middle of september so I must wait. My question is can hosimotos cause high heart rate I was told yes and then I was told NO.....or sometimes you can have hosimotoxocious I probably spelled that wrong....where you can have symptoms of HYPER but have hosimotos which causes HYPO.....any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

No dx here but I have somewhat elevated TgAb and higher heart rate (it definitely fluctuates). My very brand new doctor (Internist) is suspecting thyroiditis. Some resolve, some move onto hypothyroid.
My FT3 & 4 according to many patients, is considered on the low end. However, in the "normal" range.
That said, I am a smoker and as such, this tends to raise the heart rate a.k.a. "smokers heart." My B.P. can spike as well. Further, I have elevated Testosterone & Dhea-s. Perhaps all of this accounts for what I have been experiencing.
