What Causes Swelling In The Eyes While Going Through Menopause?

Hi, I m a hypothyroid 50 year old female. I ve been on my medication for years and I ve always have been very good with check-ups & refilling my prescriptions. However, the past two weeks I didn t fill my script. I ve been in transition of starting with a new company and my focus wasn t on getting my medication. I m back on and its day two, but the last couple days I haven t felt right. Especially in my eyes. They are swollen & bulging a little. Is this a side affect? I m also going through menopause and experiencing a lot of heat. Thank you

Hi,

The puffiness of eyes can be most likely due to alteration in thyroid hormone levels along with hormone changes of menopause.

A close observation of the swelling with urine output and control of thyroid hormone level is mandatory with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
