Have you eliminated AFIB by normalizing thyroid hormones?

@merrychristmas I am well aware that hypothyroidism can cause arrythmia problems. My question and statement were about the complete daisy chain from Hashimoto's to hypothyroidism to Afib. Is this a valid sequence of events? There is no empirical data that proves there is or is not a linkage.

@stan4745 in my case of hyperthyroidism, my TSH was all over the place while T4free and T3 were virtually unchanged. Yet lowering the synthroid dosage which increased TSH virtually eliminated my arrhythmias.

Hello, @chickenfarmer My cardiologists, and the literature, have admitted for many years now that low thyroid (hypothyroidism) also causes heart arrhythmias, although it's not clearly understood why and how this occurs. Previously, it was believed that only high thyroid triggered atrial fib, and that was taught in med school for years. But it's a complex relationship between heart & thyroid. "Stop The Thyroid Madness" is a patient-centered website (and a book by that name) that has been compiling research on this and other thyroid questions and treatments for almost 25 years, and might be of interest to you. There are research studies discussed and other documentation of doctors who are studying the low-thyroid/afib connection. I found it helpful; I have low thyroid and AF episodes.
