What Causes Irregular Heart Beat And Puffiness Below The Eyes?

Recently I have developed puffiness below my eyes and irregular heartbeat. Since 29 November I have ceased taking my 50mcg of thyroxin as blood test showed my TSH indicated it was too much at this time. My weight is also creeping up, having gained 5 kilos in the past 12 months. I feel quite lethargic, tho' I guess this is because I sleep badly.
