My heart rate when seated is 80-95, and when standing, it increases to 105-130. I was diagnosed with iodine-induced hyperthyroidism and expect my thyroid to normalize in about 2 months. Does this warrant the use of beta blockers, or is it okay to wait it out? Additionally, is it normal for heart rate to stay elevated while standing, and is exercising a bad idea while hyperthyroid with an elevated heart rate? Finally, if my heart rate suddenly spikes to 180, could I use propranolol as needed for such episodes?
