From my point of view it does seem more than coincidental that I had it diagnosed more or less the same time as my heart problems. Leaving me to believe there must be a link, but not according to the medical professionals. But according to what you have provided there seems to be. Which would make sense....

That was the same for me. My Afib was found almost my accident. I am asymptomatic and I was being prepped for cataract surgery on my right eye and when they hooked me up to the oxygen/pulse device it showed that my heart was in Afib. I was then hooked up to the multi-lead EKG machine and they took blood. The EKG showed Afib and the blood work showed hypothyroidism (low TSH numbers). I had had cataract surgery on my left just 2 week prior and the work-up to that surgery included some previous blood work and the day of the surgery I was hooked up the oxygen/pulse device and no heart problems and no thyroid problems. I have annual physicals and have never had thyroid or heart issues. I am taking levothyroxine once a day in the morning (going on 7 weeks) and next week I have another blood draw to check the thyroid.
