Thyroid maybe?

For years I have had issues that were thought to be Thyroid related but I’ve always had normal levels when my dr has done testing.

Rewind to about 2-3 months ago. I began gaining weight and experiencing high heart rates. I went into my dr on the 19th because I’ve gained 18 lbs. On top of this, I have extreme night sweats, and hot flashes through the day. I am experiencing heart rates in the 120’s sitting. I have bad abdominal pain brought on by gas. As well as an irregular period. The Dr ran my TSH (ultrasense) and my level was almost non existent. At a .079. I went in to see my actual primary on the 26th to go over things and come up with a game plan. She ran a boatload of tests including rerunning the TSH, a thyroid panel, Lyme panel, and CBC. My thyroid level jumped to a 1.14 within a normal range and T4 was within a normal range. She no longer wants to follow the thyroid (or any other it seems like) lead. She has now sent me for a halter monitor. I don’t know what to do but I’m truly convinced it’s my thyroid. It explains everything!
