What's wrong with my swollen face and eyes

Many people find that their faces and eyes are swollen when they wake up in the morning. If you have a slow metabolism and drink a lot of water before going to bed, the swelling of your face and eyes in the morning is probably edema, which will disappear after a while. But there are other reasons that can cause your face and eyes to swell up. We will introduce it today, and hope that everyone can judge the type of disease they have through their body reactions in time.

How to eliminate swelling in the face and eyes when you wake up in the morning

When you wake up in the morning, your face and eyes are swollen. How to eliminate facial swelling? 1. Avoid eating heavy-tasting foods. Diet and swelling are closely related to what you eat that day. It is better to eat less salty and heavy-tasting foods.

2. Eat more water-discharging foods. Cucumbers, red beans, and coix seeds are all good water-discharging foods. Of course, you won’t see immediate results, but if you stick to it for a long time, there will definitely be results!

3. Taking a bath regularly is the best way to eliminate edema. It uses the temperature of the water to increase the body's metabolism and promote blood circulation, thus clearing away excess waste water from the body.

4. Exercise more. Ladies who exercise regularly have much better complexion and body shape than those who don’t like to exercise, and their faces are less likely to swell. Aerobic exercise is the most effective.

5. Eat less cold food. Eating more cold food will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal fatigue. It also causes water to be retained in the body, leading to water accumulation and edema, so you should consume less cold food.

What causes puffy eyes and face?

The following are some common causes of eye swelling:

1. When there is non-inflammatory eyelid swelling without congestion: The eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the skin on the whole body, and slight edema may first manifest as eyelid edema. Common causes include allergies, insect bites, angioedema, compression by tumors near the eyelids and eye sockets, lacrimal gland prolapse, blepharoplasty, chalazion, etc. Systemic diseases that may easily cause eyelid edema include chronic nephritis, hypothyroidism, severe cough, heart failure, etc.

In severe cases, it protrudes out of the palpebral fissure, and you may even be unable to close your eyes. Edema not caused by inflammation is generally not congested. It is common in allergies, toxic reactions to drugs or chemicals, compression of tumors in the eyelids and orbits, foreign body reactions, etc. For your health, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations
