Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia or thyroxine adverse effects.
For this reason, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels in case thyroxine dose adjustments are needed
It is also important performing an ambulatory 24-48hours EGG monitoring, in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged period of time and exclude cardiac arrhythmia.
Other tests to consider would be:
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
You may need to take low dose of betablockers ( metoprolol, atenolol, etc.).
Hope you will find this information helpful!I remain at your disposal in case of further question whenever you need!

Hello again!
It seems that thyroid gland disorder may have an influence on your extra pulse feeling.
It is necessary to perikdically check your thyroid hormones level and also optimize appropriately your daily thyroxine dose.
As I mentioned above, a low dose betablocker like 50 mg/day Metoprolol could be of help. A 24 hours ambulatory ECG monitoring test (Holter) would be helpful a couple of weeks after therapy optimisation..
You should discuss with your attending physician on the above mentioned issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
