    Did they check t3? I had normal t4 and high t4 when I was diagnosed. And that was a pattern throughout. Also you can get palpitations with hypothyroid too. When I was overmedicated I told my nurse I was getting serious palpitations which were diagnosed as atrial flutter/fibrillation. And she says hypo can cause that too. There is a lot of cross over symptoms. I would advise getting the t3 checked and if your doctor advises, coming off meds and seeing what happens.
