Series of hard heart skips?

Hey guys, it's me again . I just got recently diagnosed with graves disease a couple months back and it was investigated after complaining of many symptoms over many years but mostly heart skipping. I have always had them for most of my life but they went away when I was younger. They become pretty bad about two years back but they were still here and there not consistent one after another. Now, recently...they come as hard thumps that feel so large that it's almost like I can feel my heart twitch in my chest, I don't know if that is the case but it's so uncomfortable and it always catches me off guard and takes my breath away and causes great anxiety. They come in a series of almost rhythmic or maybe out of rhythm its so hard to tell. Sometimes they will last for an hour, sometimes less. Is this normal with graves? Or is this something worse? I have been to many cardiologists and they all tell me it's because I need a more active lifestyle or of course anxiety. But this is way worse than it was before and it terrifies me. They come randomly but I've had them almost every day.

Methimazole causing liver injury?

Hello, I was finally diagnosed two weeks ago after years of being gaslit and have already been taking methimazole going on two months due to my high thyroid labs. They checked my labs and my liver ast was 141 so now they are thinking the medication is doing it and not the graves since my liver enzymes were normal before starting. Has anyone else had this happen? They are now talking about thyroid removal or radioactive iodine but I'm trying to stay away from RAI because I'm desperately trying to not get the bulging eyes symptom and my doctor said to not do that route if that is my concern. I guess my question is...has anyone had this reaction and then have their liver chill out or am I just doomed for surgery? I'm extremely terrified of being put under, always have been but I guess I also don't want to die lol Thank you for listening. I've been feeling really down and depressed about this. It feels like every year I get something new. (Chiari, asthma, allergies, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, probable pots) I feel like I'm 80 years old. I'm 36 so I'm not super young but not old enough to feel as terrible as I do. I am currently on 5mg so not a very high dose so I am shocked that this dose is not doing well with me.
