Oh absolutely--PVCs can be caused by thyroid issues--it can cause all sorts of heart rhythm disruptions.

Because I've been so so dizzy. Doc said to take my BP when I felt the symptoms....dizzy, unsteady, etc. Hoping that maybe it was a pattern with low BP. But now, (as you can see from my last post) the ER called and said my TSH level is high and I need to be on thyroid meds.

I'm an expert at all things thyroid - unfortunately! I've been .01 all the way to 35! And it wreaked havoc on my body and mind. Just so you know there I now a huge link between thyroid issues and anxiety/mental issues. Palps are one huge symptom (usually the other direction though) but hypo (which you are) sully causes slower HR which I'm sure triggers PVCs too. I will give you more info. On way into therapist right now so message me any questions and I will help allnic an. Meds for it can help slot. Are you tired? Cold, hair falling it, bowel issues, gained or lost weight? All symptoms. I alwaysfelt
Lightheade when I had issues but mine was anxiety related as well. However with thyroid issues your body will release chemicals at different moments and you can have a rush of feelings/symptoms

Sounds like you may have found the cause of tons of your problems (including PVCs), and it is extremely easy to treat--one med does it all. Happy for you!!!

Yes sounds like you are hypothyroid. And yes easy fix. You take a synthetic form of what your body is lacking. I was opposite - hyperthyroid and. Had to take a chemical med - then I went too far over with high dose and ended up hypo at 35 and then adjusted to get back to normal. You can find a lot of info on thyroid. Hopefully it will cure your PVCs!! I really hope it does!
