A member asked:
My wife when she wakes up in the morning here face and fingures are swelled as she is taking regular medicne for thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: If she takes a thyroid hormone supplement and her current dose is less than she needs, this could be a factor in her swelling. Otherwise her swelling is probably unrelated to her thyroid issue. The list of possible causes is long and includes sex hormonal changes, cardiac, kidney, liver, nutritional and substance-abuse problems.
