General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like you are suffering from hyperthyroidism since you have arrhythmia even at night and excessive sweating.

I recommend you to do a T3, T4, TSH to check thyroid hormonal levels.

Take care.

Hope my answer clarified the concern.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards.
