He has developed an abdominal movement (involuntary) that his abdomen moves out and shoulders come forward - it is intermittent and doesn't happen all the time, but is frequent. I believe he has a little cough prior to this

I can understand your concern regarding to your son's health.
The abdominal and shoulders movement is nor related to thyroid function or levothyroxine dose.
Of course the TSH level should be corrected by i would recommend to do some further investigations (abdominal ultrasound, MRI of the shoulder) to try to find the cause of these symptoms.
Hope the information will help and wish him good health.
