How Can Swollen Eyes While On Armour Thyroid Be Treated?

Have been taking 45mg of armour thyroid for quite a few years. Lately my eyelids feel swollen. Do I see an opthamologist or a thyroid doctor. Also, I have not been taking the thyroid med at the same time every day. Unfortunately, my schedule has gotten a little erratic. How does this affect it?

Hello,

I think you should better visit an ophthalmologist than a thyroid doctor.
I think it is an eye concern causing it.

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