Patients with lower eyelid swelling may be related to physiological factors, but also to pathological factors such as heart failure and malnutrition.
If patients stay up late for a long time and drink a lot of water before going to bed, they are prone to eyelid swelling the next morning. At this time, no special treatment is usually needed, and the patient can return to normal after rest.
When the patient has cardiac insufficiency or heart failure, the venous blood return to the heart is impeded, which can cause venous blood to stagnate in the interstitial space of the tissues, thus leading to the symptoms of eyelid swelling.
Eyelid swelling can also occur when patients suffer from hypoproteinemia due to malnutrition or chronic renal insufficiency. Patients should supplement their intake of animal protein, vegetable protein, and fresh vegetables, and actively treat the primary disease to alleviate eye discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with significant eyelid swelling seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Patients should also pay attention to develop good dietary habits, quit smoking and drinking, avoid overwork, and rationalize their work and rest.
