If its weird, I'll get it

Why would I get edema over one eye (Right). I awoke with this strange thing 3 days ago. No pain, soreness, drainage. The eyeball is not red and vision is fine when I lift the bag of fluid to look around. lol
Geesh I've heard of bags under your eyes but this is ridiculous. I have no D/P that I know of but who knows what tomorrow may bring. I'm on no medications. I have tried cool compresses and warm sterile saline solutions to keep clean etc.
Anyone eles have this strange thing before?

Still swollen??

First day the worst, now is mainly inner corner of lid, but that depends on which side I sleep and gravity. ha Thank god its veryyyyyyyyyyyyy slowly going down.

It would seem that you have fluid retention for some reason. Usually around the eyes means lack of sleep, stress, salty food, some medications and so on. Gravity will affect which side is more affected. Fluid retention is also a symptom of some serious conditions as well, such as kidney / heart insufficiency, but usually these would cause swelling in legs/ankles, too.

No edema ankles or feet, lack of sleep yes, salty food yes,, I love peanuts well all nuts. That may be it they are quick to grab. My schedule has been drastically changed and my sleep is off, mmmm I will do things differently and get back on track. God I don't want to even think of a heart insuff. B/P is fine.

Thank you Dr. J:smile:
