Hello
It seems from the history that you are having hyperthyroidism and having bulging of the eyes.
This condition is called as exophthalmos. This commonest cause for bulging of the eyes.
The treatment of the condition is by treatment of hyperthyroidism. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatment of hyperthyroidism. According to his advice you can treatment of radioactive iodine.

Thank you
