Yes, I used to have this. It is a symptom of under active thyroid. When you get to the dose that is right for you, it will stop.
Did your eyes get better? I had the same problem. My eyes were extremely puffy after my total thyroidectomy and before I got on Synthroid. Now that I've been on Synthroid, my eyes have no puffiness at all. I figured it was due to hypothyroidism.
