In reply to Atiq Ahmed. YES, thyroid hormones have a profound effect on the cardiovascular system. Tachycardia (high heart beat), heart failure, and heart attack can be caused by too much, or too little thyroid hormones.

Hey, high T3 and T4 (low TSH) can also be triggered by thyrotoxicosis, a more common form of hyperthyroidism. It requires a specialist, but usually goes away on its own in approx. 6 months. Grave’s Disease is treated through antithyroid medication and is typically diagnosed via presence of specific antibodies and in the rare case that those are not detected, a thyroid uptake scan (a lot of times both are done regardless of the antibody outcome to make absolutely sure.)
