Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Dear user, you are being overdosed. just reduce the dose of levothroxine from 125 mcg to 75 mcg and then see if you still have palpitations. also check your thyroid balance on 75 mcg of thyroxine. if you are still symptomatic take an opinion of a cardiologist. Regards!
