A member asked:
Consistently moderately swollen tongue, often dark purple toes (no pain). could these be connected to thyroid function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: Lots of causes of swollen tongue, and low thyroid is not a common cause. If concerned about it, get the TSH level to determine if you have a low thyroid level. (TSH will be elevated if you are hypothyroid).
