What Causes Brownish Discoloration Around Eyes While On Levothyroxine?

Yes, please. I have a brownish discoloration around my eyes. A bit more than a week ago, I was stung by a bee just below my eybrow. It was redish purplish for a few days and seemed to be healing daily and was almost gone. Then a few days ago, I got sick to my stomach from overeating and threw up. The next day both of my eyes had kind of the darker color around them. I take levothyroxine for my thyroid, and wonder if when I threw up, maybe it put pressure on my thyroid gland and could that be causing it.
