"Did you drink too much water last night, and why did your eyes swell so badly?" Xiao Zhou's colleague asked.
Xiao Zhou said, "I didn't drink much water last night, and I don't know why my eyes are so swollen when I get up in the morning, it won't be a big problem." ”
"Let's check it out, I heard that eye edema is caused by bad kidneys."
Xiao Zhou thought that he seemed to have urinated a little abnormally lately, and he often had waist pain, thinking that he might really have kidney problems, so he hurried to the hospital for examination.
A test found that there were some kidney stones, and the kidney function was a little reduced, but it was found early, and the recovery after treatment was very good.
Why do I wake up in the morning with eyelid edema?
1. There is inflammation
Although sometimes drinking more water before going to bed will also lead to eyelid edema, but generally after a period of time will disappear on its own, there will be no problem, but if it is accompanied by eye congestion, accompanied by symptoms of eye discomfort, then it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a possibility of eye inflammation.
The eyes are very important for us, if there is eye inflammation, we must actively treat, in addition to using some eye drops, if it is serious, it may also need to be treated with some antibacterial drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
Of course, it is also possible that the eyelid edema caused by mosquito bites can be treated with some eye ointments to promote the recovery of the disease.
2. Abnormal lymphatic and blood return
In addition, some of the more rare is caused by abnormal blood or lymphatic fluid reflux, that is, reflux obstruction, blood, lymph fluid can not flow smoothly, at this time the local eyelid edema will be manifested as local just swelling.
However, there is no obvious congestion, that is to say, the local is not red, and the pain feels relatively light. At this time, it is necessary to judge the different reasons of the patient and then choose different treatment methods.
3. Caused by organic diseases
Eyelid edema can be seen in kidney disease as well as in other systemic diseases. Kidney disease, especially glomerulonephritis, can often appear morning eyelid edema, which is related to the decrease in glomerular filtration rate and water and sodium retention, and some patients with anemia can also have morning ebral edema, most of which can be accompanied by dizziness, palpitations and other symptoms.
In patients with heart failure or hepatic insufficiency, generalized edema may occur, and after lying flat at night, body fluids may accumulate in the site of loose tissue, morning eyelid edema, and lower extremity edema may occur after activity.
In addition, if eyelid edema is accompanied by a rash and itchy skin, attention should be paid to the presence or absence of allergic dermatitis, and when morning eyelid edema occurs, the cause should be actively sought and corresponding treatment measures should be taken.
Of course, in addition to these possible factors, symptoms of eyelid edema may also have liver cirrhosis. Eyelid edema in cirrhosis is often associated with hypoproteinemia, which occurs when the level of albumin in the patient's body decreases.
Common symptoms include eyelid edema, increased ascites, edema of both lower limbs, etc., and some diuretic drugs can be used according to the guidance of a doctor. When one eyelid edema occurs, pay attention to whether there is a stye or a local infection of the eyelid.
Therefore, when eyelid edema occurs, in addition to excluding the reasons for drinking water at night, it is best to go to the hospital to check and clarify the cause.
