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.
