As explained previously, these symptoms are due to your low Ft3 and still being hypothyroid

Poor gut function extremely common due do low stomach acid

This leads to poor nutrient absorption and low vitamin levels

Breathlessness often linked to low iron/ferritin

But also to being on inadequate dose levothyroxine

Approximately how much do you weigh in kilo

Guidelines on eventual dose levothyroxine likely to need is approximately 1.6mcg per kilo of your weight per day

Hi, the active substance in both medications is Levothyroxine. The other ingredients may vary. For example, the inactive ingredients in Euthyrox are: maize starch, citric acid, croscarmellose sodium, gelatine, magnesium, stearate and mannitol (E421).

You could compare these to the inactive ingredients in the generic levothyroxine medication you are taking.
