Heart Monitor percentage?

Question

I had a heart montor due to a prolapsed valve that seems to have cleared on its own. But in the 24 hour period the dr. mentioned that it was "irregular" for 30% of the time and suggested something about my Thyroid needing to be checked out. What does the Thyroid have to do with the heart?

COMPLICATIONS OF HYPERTHYROIDISM;

* Heart-related complications include rapid heart rate, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation.
* Thyroid crisis or storm is an acute worsening of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism that may occur with infection or stress. Fever, decreased mental alertness, and abdominal pain may occur, and immediate hospitalization is needed.
* Hyperthyroidism increases the risk for osteoporosis.
* There may be complications related to surgery, including visible scarring of the neck, hoarseness due to nerve damage to the voice box, and a low calcium level because of damage to the parathyroid glands.
* Complications may be related to replacement of thyroid hormones. If too little hormone is given, symptoms of under-active thyroid can occur including fatigue, increased cholesterol levels, mild weight gain, depression, and slowing of mental and physical activity. If too much hormone is given, the symptoms of hyperthyroidism will come back.

Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms which could be caused by excessive thyroid hormone production. If the symptoms are associated with a rapid, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or change in consciousness, go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911).

Call your health care provider if treatment for hyperthyroidism induces symptoms of under-active thyroid, including mental and physical sluggishness, weight gain, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism means your thyroid makes too much thyroid hormone. Your thyroid is a gland in the front of your neck. It controls your metabolism, which is how your body turns food into energy. It also affects your heart, muscles, bones, and cholesterol.

Without treatment, hyperthyroidism can lead to serious heart problems, bone problems, and a dangerous condition called thyroid storm.

Having too much thyroid hormone can make a lot of things in your body speed up. You may lose weight quickly, have a fast heartbeat, sweat a lot, or feel nervous and moody. Or you may have no symptoms at all.

Also Graves' disease causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), which may make a person's heart pound and beat irregularly and may cause nervousness, mood changes, weakness, and fatigue. Grave's disease causes most hyperthyroidism. In Graves’ disease, the body's natural defense (immune) system attacks the thyroid gland. The thyroid fights back by making too much thyroid hormone. Like many thyroid problems, it often runs in families.

Valve problems can also cause irregular heart rhythms.

Hopefully they will find out what is going on soon. Best wishes to you.

Answer 3

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is one cause of an irregular heartbeat. (There are other possible causes as well, including mitral valve prolapse.) Thyroid hormones have effects on almost every part of your body, including your heart. I hope your doctor is able to figure out what is going on in your case, and I hope you feel better soon.
