It speeds up for maybe two or three seconds and beats really hard, then returns to normal. It happens every five minutes or so, for the past hour and thirty minutes. I am 25 years old. I have hypothyroidism, but have not heard that it would cause a heart problem like I am feeling. Other than my thyroid, I am very healthy.
Any idea as to what this could be?
Thanks in advance for your serious, helpful answers.

I am taking synthroid and my doctor just checked it to make sure it is the correct dosage...and it is.

You are experiencing heart palpitations. Palpitations in themselves don't necessarily mean that you have a heart condition. They can be caused by stress, anxiety, and certain drugs such as caffeine.
To be on the safe side you could consult with a cardiologist, but in all probability you will be told that there's no problem.

My Heart Keeps Fluttering

Are you taking medicines for your thyroid? Like Synthroid or Armor thyroid? That could cause some such effects described if the dosage is more. Or it could be an arrythmia. Anxiety attacks or something. Get it checked out.

It sounds to me like a heart murmur. I'm healthy besides the fact that I have a very mild case of asthma. From time to time, but not on a daily basis, I do get those same feelings in my chest. I've consulted my physician and he doesn't seem to be too concerned. Although yours sounds more frequent, maybe you should ask a physician yourself or just go in for a check up. It couldn't hurt.

Call for an ambulance.
The heart beat is regulated by a variety of different
systems, and when one gets out of wack, it can
cause this kind of cyclical arythmia. It may have
to triggered with wierd blood balances (sodium,
potasium) - but in any case, if it gets worse, it
could be fatal.
Call for an ambulance or have someone drive you
to the emergency room.

It's called arrythmia and it could very well be related to your thyroid condition. I don't want to offer any medical advice - do some searches on arrythmia and thyroid and if you think it's not within normal symptoms, by all means see a doctor.

I have the same thing and I was found to have a heart murmur. Its not serious but you should get it checked out by your doctor. They should give you a echocardiogram, ekg as well as a chest x ray. Just as a precaution.

it could be something called tachycadia- or it could be nerves. Sometimes when you get hyper- or excited or anxious.Tachycardia could be serious especially if followed by dizzy spells or feeling like you are going to pass out. Check with your Physiciain if it persisits.
