Thyroid: I would start by having your doctor recheck your thyroid levels. You may need your meds adjusted. There are also many additional causes for swelling and fatigue. Blood tests and a physical exam are needed to start narrowing this down.

Needs evaluated: Might be related to your thyroid condition, but could be heart or inflammatory conditions as well. Should get exam & bloodwork to confirm source.
