hello,
hypothyroidism has many symptoms like Fatigue
Increased sensitivity to cold
Constipation
Dry skin
Unexplained weight gain
Puffy face
Hoarseness
Muscle weakness
Elevated blood cholesterol level
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods
Thinning hair
Slowed heart rate

as you do not have any of the above symptoms, just relax.
though many time it is heredietary, you can do your thyroid profile once in a year regularly
puffy upperlids can be because of age related changes
dont worry
take care
