one bulging eye

Hello, about 5 months ago I started getting occasional headaches and noticed a small bulge in my left temple. I went to the eye doctor yesterday for my annual check up and he stated that my left eye is bulging. He strongly suggested I see my primary doctor. I saw my PCP today. He is sending me for a MRI and to have my thyroid checked. I had my thyroid checked last year and it came back normal. Of course with reading the internet, I'm a little freaked out. Does anyone have more information on this? I keep reading about tumors. Is this common????
Thank you in advance for your in-put.

IF you eye is truly bulging out a definitive dause needs to be found. The most common cause is thyroid diease. Tumors and "false" tumors are other common causes

Get this fully worked up. You may need to see an oculoplastic surgeon
