Hi
Fast heart beat/ or palpitations are of different types starting from simple sinus tachycardia to fatal arrhythmias.
As u also mentioned that u r taking thyroid supplement, possibility of atrial fibrillation to be kept. ( it is common in increased thyroid level due to overdose)
So u need evaluation including ECG and thyroid function
Consult your doctor
Thank you
