Question:
I have just increased my dosage of thyroxine to.175mgs. I have hypothyroidism. And I was also taking exterem metabo life diet pills. I then start to notice that under my eye on top of the cheek area was really puffy. It flucates. It does not respond to cold packs .I was wondering if the diet pills in conjunction with synthroid might be the reason for the swelling. Or am I just getting old and need a face lift? I just turned 38. If it's do to age can someone suggest something natural to get rid of the puffiness and swelling? Something non-evasive.
Answer:
It is the fat pad under your eyes. They show more with aging. Welcome to the 40ish mark.
I don't believe its connected to the diet pills, but you really shouldn't be using diet pills with thyroid meds. Getting your morning TSH around 1.0 on T4 will help you much more than any diet pill can.
Before using Synthroid
Warning: Synthroid should not be used either alone or in combination with diet pills to treat obesity or for weight loss because serious, even life-threatening, effects could occur. Large doses of Synthroid, especially with diet pills, may cause symptoms of toxicity. (see possible side effects and overdose sections for more information). Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with this medicine.
