Bathsheba, rapid heart rate was what started to make me wonder what was going on too. One day when I was laying down my resting heart rate was 145bpm. Oh, and there was the weight loss (despite eating like a horse) and the moodiness, intolerance to heat, weak thigh muscles and of course hand tremors. Oh it's fun isn't it . . .

Ah yes... i forgot about the hand tremors... that was another clue that led me to the doctor. Thankfully no sign of that now either. My heart rate got to about 130Bpm at rest at it's worst. I've been wanting to buy a heart rate monitor but they are so expensive.
OMG ladies, takes me back. I once had a nurse take my resting rate after i'd been laying on the table for a bunch of other things (i was joining the practice, so i had a smear and a bunch of swabs taken, blood taken, my BP done, etc.) and it was 38bpm! She almost called an ambulance! THe following morning i took it on waking and it was 37! Thankfully now i'm medicated it's more like 44-50bpm (i exercise quite a lot too though, some of that is fitness).
