What Causes Loss Of Hair And Stress?

I swallowed radio active idodine in 1970 & it killed my thyroid. I was taking reg thyroid but i ended up taking too much (my fault) and got terrible heart palpatations. They changed me to levothyroxine 88mcg tab. I have been losing my hair & also my eybrows for the last few months or more. My dr says it may be from stress whichI have been very stressful for a long times because of different problems at home. Everytime I eat, a get a stomachache afterwards, and also bloated. I don t know if has anything to do with my thyroid or just something else. I also started thinking I am allergic to gluten, everytime I eat bread it feels the same. Saw my dr. last Jan & he said my thyroid panel came out fine, so I am just wondering what the heck is wrong with me. I am very tired all the time, sluggish & have no desire to do anything.
