Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
the symptoms you mentioned belong to hyper thyroidism
reduced after stopping eltroxin
as you have stopped for a long period again you are developing features of hypothyroidism
better get estimation of TSH, T3 and T4 and consult an endocrinologist
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
