For what it's worth, I think it is always a good idea to restart one's phone after an update, whether it's a minor or major update, to insure there's no issues or glitches. Sorry you've had a bad go of it. Hopefully 14.1 will resolve some of your issues, or you can get back to 13.7 until Apple puts out fixes.
