Hello
Thanks for the query.
There can be various reasons for swollen face and headache in the morning and hypothyroidism can be the cause for it.However other reasons which can cause this problem are 
Chronic sinusitis 
Kidney diseases
Liver diseases etc.
What you require is a consultation with your doctor and thorough investigations lime
CBC,urinalysis,x-ray or CT scan of sinuses,kidney function tests,liver function tests,thyroid function tests,serum proteins etc.
Treatment will depend upon finding the cause.

I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
