What causes eye swelling?

Swollen eyeballs are quite common in our daily life. For example, some bad living habits can easily lead to this phenomenon. Excessive use of eyes, staying up late, and poor rest can cause swollen eyeballs. In addition, we should also be alert to some allergic causes, such as food allergies. Allergies to pollen and dust can also cause symptoms of edema. There is also a bad sleeping posture. Of course, we should also be vigilant through these swelling phenomena, as these are also signs of some diseases.

What causes eye swelling?

1. Allergic reactions to food, dust, pollen, and even allergic skin rashes on other parts of the face can also cause severe eye swelling. If the condition is not treated properly, this temporary swelling may become permanent. Because whenever an allergic reaction causes puffy eyes, it is damaging your connective tissue fibers. The more puffiness and allergies you have, the looser your eyelids will become. So if you suspect you have an allergy, the sooner you take action to control it, the better. Never take it lightly. 2. Sleeping posture: Do not sleep on your stomach. Do not drink excessive water within 1 hour before going to bed. If you find your eyes are swollen in the morning, you can apply hot and cold water alternately to your eyes, or use salt water. Do not rub your eyes. It may be that your heart and kidney function is not good. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a urine routine test to check your kidney function. Of course, you can also go to a regular hospital to see a Chinese medicine doctor. I hope you don’t take it lightly and check as soon as possible. Since the urine routine test is normal, there should be no big problem. It may be that the circulatory system is not very good. Do you usually feel weak, dizzy, light-footed, and loss of appetite? It is recommended that you participate in more outdoor activities and physical exercise.
