What Causes Heart Palpitations, Shortness Of Breath And Hair Loss?

I have been on eltroxin for several years and doc says levels are where they should be.... Why am I getting puffy eyes, hair loss , in the past lost toe nails, breathing diffic, palpitations? I can not lose wight since I have been on this I put on 45 pounds and use to be quite slim/trim. To be quite honest I am seeking alternative holisitic solutions. And to possibly even try to self cut this tablet in half ?reduce dosage.
