Welcome to Healthcare Magic
It would be best if you get your thyroid levels estimated anyways to be safe. It could be symptom of excess thyroid hormone. How are your periods. These could also be symptoms of menopause where there is hormonal disturbance and such symptoms as well. Continue as per your doctor's advise. Eat healthy. Avoid junk food. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink enough water. Get 6-8 hours of sleep a day. Do daily brisk walking as well.

Hello, welcome to HCM. The symptoms you are facing could be due to hyperthyroidism. To rule out you must undergo thyroid function test after about a month of taking new medicine. Its only after that you can look forward to changing the drug or its dosage. Wish you good health.
