Brief Answer:
Get cardiac evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

At this point in time, Thryoxine replacement (eltroxin or Thyronorm) can cause temporary disturbances to the human body. The reactions can be short lived and that too in a septanarian, nearing 70 yrs.
To find out if everything is well and if he is a good canditate for Eltroxin or Thyronorm it is better to get cardiac evaluation by Cardiologist. It helps to check if the new symptoms that you had told were just because of replacement and not organic disease.

Brief Answer:
Eltroxin can be added

Detailed Answer:
since serious heart problems are ruled out you can take eltroxin in my opinion. I think drug related side effects are short lived.
