A member asked:
I am having symptoms similar to hyperthyroid. could overmedication also cause symptoms of graves disease particularily the puffy eyelids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Once diagnosed with any thyroid condition, the condition known as "thyroid eye disease" can occur at any time, independent of the thyroid status of the body. So in your case, the puffy eyelids is due to the thyroid condition, not the over-treating or under-treating of the thyroid in the body.
