Avatar m tn Last night I had some allergy issues. This is not unusual because I have a cat that I'm allergic to. Anyway, my eyes got all itchy and watery like they do. I put a cold pack on it for a few minutes then took my allergy medicine and went to bed like I've done many times. When I woke up this morning the eye is still more red than normal, it's watery, and it still feels puffy. I know it's not night allergy since the cat doesn't come in the bedroom.
Avatar f tn I'm 12 weeks... Usually I don't have allergies but this spring I am going crazy. Puffy eyes puffy nose, and lots of sneezing!!
203342 tn?1328737207 Yesterday and today I got extremely congested, puffy eyes watering and sneezing. I took a Benadryl last night and went to bed. Woke up with puffy eyes again and now a headache. Still congested, eyes watering, sneezing, etc. Being that it’s Winter now and colder I wouldn’t think I’d be reacting to things growing or dying, though I do get seasonal allergies.
Avatar f tn What could this be a sign of? Is it normal for my eyes to get puffy from allergies? Please give me some ideas for narrowing down the cause.
Avatar m tn s Female, I am Male) has allergies, and she is constantly wiping her eyes and rubbing them. I would say that one of her eyelids is more swollen than the other as well. She always seems to be wiping the outer sides of the corner of her eyes. What is odd is that I got that exact same wetness in the outer corner of my eyes once or twice recently. This isn't like the inside corner of your eye, instead it is the outer corner and it is very annoying. For me it usually passes in a day.
Avatar f tn About a week before that at the most I had were some puffy eyes. When I went to doctors they were clueless since they didn't think of allergies overnight causing breathing issues. I finally decided I would go to an allergist, and uncovered that I'm allergic to everything environmental. Before that night I had never had an reaction to my cat I've had for 14 years. Now if he gets in my face my nose and throat close up.
Avatar n tn No swollen or runny eyes. Is this allergies? I noticed she usually only sneezes when her nose touches objects or she sniffs. Sometimes mucous comes out with the sneeze.
Avatar f tn At first i just thought it was dust etc but over the last few weeks the condition has got worse. Every morning when i wake up my eyes are really puffy, eyelids appear swollen, they feel sore and slightly bloodshot. This carries on throughout the day but slightly improves throughout the day, but then worsens again towards the end of the day. They are itchy a lot too.
Avatar f tn ve been feeling real tired for a long time now, and have usually been blaming it on my allergies. I have puffy cheeks, dark bags under the eyes, and have been chronically drowsy. This happens all year round and nothing changes. I usually get 8+ hours of sleep every night. Please help when you can.
Avatar f tn I am a 69 year old female with very dry eyes and chronic allergies. I had two catract surgeries one in Oct. and one in Nov.I wake up in the morning and it actually feels like my bottom eye lid was stuck to my eye ball. I know now it is feeling like this because my lower left eye is quit puffy, all I have to do is tug gently on the puffy lid and it is gone.This started happening out of the blue.
Avatar f tn I have really bad allergies my eye will get really puffy and itchy. This morning I woke up and both my eyes was like this is safe to take my allergy meds or its not safe for the baby?

Avatar f tn Christmas morning I woke up to puffy, swollen eye lids. Went to the doctor and told me take benedryl and hydrocordizone 1% for itching on lids. It took 3 days for swelling to go down and finally Sunday the dryness on lids went away. And now today I wake up to puffy lids again. I thought about all I ate on 24 hours, and nothing unsual nothing different... please help....

440120 tn?1211724496 I have had cats my whole life and they usually have slept in my bed at one time or the other. Since losing my beloved cat in Hurricane Dennis I haven't had another cat in 3years. I had my appendix removed last August. I mentioned that because of the mystery purpose of the appendix in the human body. I recently acquired a new 7wk old kitten and for the first week I had it,I showed no signs of an allergy.
Avatar f tn He continues to have a headache, earaches, puffy eyes and feels generally unwell. All other blood test are normal. He has grown heaps since he has been unwell and has put on weight. We are now going to see a paediatrician and will also have a repeat MRI in six months. We still don't know what is wrong.
Avatar f tn woke up in the middle of the night with my eyes puffy & swollen -- it's probably some kind of topical allergic reaction... but how do I get the puffiness to subside?
5449245 tn?1368135459 my eyes have been puffy, if you go from the inside of my eyes and up, I believe its from my meds being to low, I was retaining alot of water, seems to be going away now that my levels are getting to were they should be.
Avatar n tn Hi Kiki, My cat was just dx'd with herpes in her eyes. For years, we too, thought it was allergies, but no. According to my vet, herpes is very common in cats. The way I figured out what was possibly going on with my cat was to google "feline herpes conjunctivitis." Some sites will give you pictures to look at and compare as well as descriptions. Discharge from the eyes have many possible dx's, but a simple blood test will confirm whether your kitty has herpes or not.
Avatar f tn Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
Avatar f tn His eyes get red and puffy and itchy and the pads of his feet will get irritated. He will like them over and over again until they become red and raw and in the worst cases they will get what look like blisters and start to bleed. I've tried a few different ointments that are supposed to "deter" licking but they don't for a second, and I'm worried about him injesting all of these ointments and stuff that he isn't supposed to.
Avatar f tn ve got an upcoming appointment with the allergist, but I really believe something else is going on (I also frequently develop hives around the puffy eyes).Most mornings I wake up with my eyes almost swollen shut. I now have a patch of eczema under one eye. I tried special products, control creams, cortisone (in small amounts-I have to be careful since it is around my eye), vaseline...the list goes on. If anyone has any ideas, I'd welcome them!

Avatar m tn I awoke 12 hrs ago with red puffy circles around my eyes. I first thought it was lack of sleep since I am a new parent but soon realized it was far worse than "tired eyes". My eyelids are swollen with one top lid being more fluid filled and puffy. There is a red rash on the far sides of both my eyes and the skin is slightly broken, mildly irritated and burns a bit. The bags under my eyes are now wrinkled and look streched with dry patches throughout.
Avatar f tn I woke up this morning and when I looked in the mirror my face was really swollen and my nose was really stuffy.. Couple hours later it went down but my eyes are still pretty puffy.. I've never had allergies or anything before I got pregnant but could I have gotten them??
Avatar n tn I have used various anti-histimines and nasal steroid sprays with some success. However, my biggest problem now is having had very puffy eyes for the last week, no redness or itchiness, just swollen eyelids. I have seen 2 doctors, who have given me eye drops and Loratadine and then Fexofenadine, but nothing is helping. I'm getting to the end of my tether, please help!
