You said that you had your left side of your thyroid removed. Did you have cancer? Were you diagnose with Graves disease? If so then Graves disease affects you heart rate. Maybe you had a stroke and need a heart specialist, however after a surgery like the one you had it is not uncommon to be thrown into hypothyroidism. Do you have an endocrinologist or a MD? If you do have an endo man maybe you need to get a second opinon at a teaching hospital where they are more likly to have more updated info.
The important thing is don't panic. You have evidently lived with this for a while. I have had Graves diease and now suffer from Hypothroidism myself and in the 15 years of my own research I have not heard of this problem with your face unless it is related to another disease or stroke.
There is something missing in your story. I hope you find your answer. Good Luck.
