I search a lot online, looking for interesting studies related to thyroid disease and ran across an interesting one pulished by the American Psychiatric Association. In this study, they found a strong association between Mitral Valve Prolapse (common heart murmur), thyroid autoimmunity (presence of TPO antibodies) and Panic Attacks.

Here is their conclusion from the study:
"These observations suggest that panic attacks, mitral valve prolapse, and autoimmune thyroid disorders are associated."
