electrolites?

I agree.

The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is to watch your caffeine intake, as that can cause your heart to do weird stuff, but you probably already know that.

Good luck with your possible 2nd job!

Hyperthyroid can play havoc with the heart, like brief episodes of racing. I had it for awhile and I did the same as you describe using slow deep breaths to get it back under control. It eventually got beyond my ability to control it and I ended up taking some low dose medication for 6 mo.
If you ever do visit some sort of medical practitioner have them test your thyroid. Or do a search online to see what you can experiment with. From your description that is my serious guess.
For me electrolytes had no effect. Caffeine and chocolate made it worse. Contrary to popular belief, you definitely can gain some weight with hyperthyroidism.
