If patients wake up in the morning with swollen eyes and face, it may be physiological edema caused by bad sleeping habits, and it may also be related to systemic diseases such as cardiac and renal diseases, eye allergies and other pathological causes.
1. Physiological edema: if patients drink a lot of water before going to bed or sleep in an incorrect position, poor quality of sleep, etc., it can lead to blood circulation around the eyes, and patients may have swollen eyes and face, but generally do not need special treatment, and can be relieved after resting.
2. Pathological edema: if the patient suffers from cardiac and renal diseases, such as cardiac insufficiency, chronic nephritis and other diseases, which cause fluid retention in the body, the patient may experience swelling of the eyes and face, which may also be accompanied by lower limb edema, dyspnea and other discomforts. If the patient’s skin around the eyes and face comes into contact with external allergens, a metamorphic reaction may occur, resulting in swelling of the eyes and face.
It is recommended that patients with significant eye and facial swelling seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow doctor’s instructions for treatment.
