WHAT COULD BE CAUSING MY UPPER EYELIDS TO SWELL UP OVERNIGHT? SOME MORNINGS, THE LEFT EYE ESPECIALLY, IS SO PUFFED UP IT ACTUALLY TOUCHES THE LASHES. IT IS ALWAYS WORSE IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS, SO I ORIGINALLY SAW AN ALLERGIST ABOUT IT ASSUMING IT COULD BE AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO SOMETHING. I HAD JUST BOUGHT A NEW MATTRESS SET AND WAS HOPING I WASN'T ALLERGIC TO IT. SHE FELT IT WAS NOT AN ALLERGY, BUT SOMETHING CALLED ANGIO ADEMA. SHE SUGGESTED TO AVOID USING ASPIRIN AND IBUPROFEN, AND USE COLD COMPRESSES. THOSE SUGGESTIONS HELPED SOME, BUT I WASN'T CONVINCED THAT WAS THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS. SO, I WENT TO SEE AN OPTHAMALOGIST. HE FOUND THAT I HAD MODERATE TO SEVERE DRY EYE. HE CLOSED MY LOWER TEAR DUCTS WHICH SOLVED THAT PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE SWELLING ISSUE. IT IS REALLY DRIVING ME NUTS. I CAN'T WHERE EYE MAKE-UP SOME DAYS AND THE PUFFINESS MAKES ME LOOK WEIRD. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S JUST OLD AGE BECAUSE IT COMES AND GOES. SOME DAYS I LOOK NORMAL. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
