Take back to chemist and tell them you've come out with a rash with this new liquid thyroxine and ask them to source the other one for you.

How long have you had palpitations?

You could also try taking an anti-histamine tablet one hour before your next dose and if you don't have a reaction, it is definitely the hormones.

I'm sorry you have palpitations and hope they resolve soon.
