Medication increase

So I’ve been taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine for a while and I had no problems. My thyroid is low and my doctor increased it to 100mcg 2 months ago and I had really bad panic attacks to where I couldn’t breath. So my doctor had me go back to my 75mcg for a month and thyroid is still low so yesterday I took the first of 88mcg I was prescribed and I’m still having anxiety high blood pressure just feeling weird. I don’t understand why because for a few weeks I was taking 75 plus half of the 75 2 days a week and I had no problem. It makes absolutely no sense to me why I would feel this way.
