Are Pressure Behind The Eye ,stuffy Eyes And Psoriasis Caused Due To Hypothyroidism ?
Hi I am having some problem with several things. I have hypothyroidism but haven't been on my medicine in a while. I'm not sure if its Coincidence or not but I have been having horrible feelings of swelling in my neck ( all around not just near the gland...even back of neck) I have also had eye pressure behind eyes and stuffy head for about a month. Also I have started getting psoriasis on my knees and eyelid. What can I do for these things and are they are from my thyroid problem??

Hi pressure behind the eyes and stuffy eyes can be due to hypothyroidism but i do not think psoriasis due to hypothyroidism.even the typical facies of hypothyroidism contains stuffy eyes.
The dryness and psycosis present in hypothyroidism can aggrevate psoriasis.if treatment is started for hypothyroidism can cure stuffy eyes whereas psoriasis is treated with moisteriser along with application of dipsalic ointment
