Heart racing for no reason
You are sitting still, maybe just watching TV. Then your heart starts to pound, flutter, or race. Nothing set it off, which feels unsettling and worth a closer look.
Many things can speed up a heartbeat. Coffee, stress, short sleep, and some cold pills are common ones. Fever, low iron, and not drinking enough water can do it too.
The thyroid is a small gland in your neck. When it makes too much hormone, the whole body runs fast. People often notice a racing heart, weight loss, shaky hands, sweating, and light sleep.
When to see someone
Get emergency help if your heart races along with chest pain, trouble breathing, or fainting. Book a doctor soon if it happens often or lasts many minutes at a time. Go as well if you notice weight loss, shaky hands, a swollen neck, or feeling hot all the time.
Below is a list of folk and natural remedies that people have used for an overactive thyroid. Each one carries a grade that shows how much research has looked at it. A grade is not a promise, so talk with your doctor before you try any of them.
