Hello, I have gone through your query.
You have mentioned regarding these symptoms, which indicate that you still are hypothyroid. I feel that either you are not taking regular thyroid medication or you are taking inadequate dose of levothyroxine.
You should get your thyroid function blood tests done and then visit your doctor for optimization of doses.
I hope I have answered your query.
Thanks and regards
