I'd suggest one or two things: One: I'd suggest you gather your medicine and look via the internet at possible drug interactions. Talking to your Doctor will work as well. Some medicine's will interact when combined with something else. Are you currently taking an Narcotics? IE: Prescription pain relievers.... If yes, this could cause swelling near your eyes. Could mean one or two things again. Meaning, you are either allergic to one or two medicines, or all Narcotics, (which you would have probably have known by now) and or an issue with the Opiod receptors in your brain. No common known problem that is life urging. If such problems progress, seek medical attention.

See the effects the hormones have on your thyroid hormone levels. Edema around the eyes is common in hypothyroidism.
