Hi,
It is suggestive of Thyroxin induced side effects. Based on the history, you seem to have developed some of the common side effects of Thyroxin. Consult your doctor to reduce the dose of Thyroxin under the periodic monitoring of thyroid function tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
