Hi dear user
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

If you have an underactive thyroid gland it is very important to take hormone replacement therapy.
I suggets to do the thyroid tests TSH,freeT3 and freeT4 to see the actual thyroid function and to meet as son as possible an endocrinologist because you need to restart Levothyroxine and he/she will adjust the dosage accordingly to test results.

For the problem of the large vein has appeared on your left temple,my advice is to consult an angiologist to find the cause and to take the right treatement.It may require investigations to reach the diagnose.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Thank you for using HCM.
Wish you good health.
