Swelling Around Eyes, Bout Of Bladder Infection After Increase In Dosage Of Levotthyroxine Post Thyroid Removal. Related?

I have been taking levothyroxine for my thyroid after 1/2 of thyroid was removed. Since increasing my dosage when my levels were low, I began to have swell around the eyes, especially under the eyes within 3 months, followed by a bout of a bladder infection . Now, it seems to be another bladder infection, with the burning associated, and this morning passing blood. Can this be medication related to the levothyroxine?

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It is unlikely to be related.
Thyroxine is a hormone normally present in the body. It can not do this.

It has no relation to the bladder infection - you might have to see a good Urologist - for favour of further assessment and assistance

Take care
Wishing you speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hi,
Its not related to medicine (levothyroxine). You need detailed investigation for repeated bladder infections & eye swelling.
Wish you good health.
