Swollen eyelid thyroid
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eyelid thyroid
swollen
Over the last six months i am having recurrent swollen eyelid, only one eye at a time but can be either eye, usually lasts 1 or 2 days, only upper eyelid, no pain, itchyness, blurry vision or bloodshot eyes. Had reoccured every 2-3 wks, have had 9wks now when it hasn't happened, and yesterday it reoccurred. GP has tested for thyroid problems, all clear. I have psoriatic arthrits, my consultant says its not related, can you help?
I often wake up with a large, swollen eyelid. This has happened for over a month now. It alternates between both the left and right eye, top or bottom eyelid, and sometimes even both. There is no pain, and the swelling is normally reduced after using a cold compress... I have not noticed any patterns as to when the swelling occurs, and went weeks without makeup to see if that would help (if it was an allergic reaction.) Nothing seems to be effective, what could be the problem?
HI,
Each morning I wake up and my eyes appear identical. Within an hour, more and more of the left eyelid is showing and it stays this way all day. Not sure if it's swollen or ptosis. Looking back at pictures, it has been this way for about 5 years but now is starting to bother me. I've had a CT on sinuses and tests for thyroid issues. Next step is an MRI. Any idea what causes this? I am so self conscious and embarrassed by this.
Lately I have had a problem that started off as a dry patch on my right eyelid that lasted for a week. Than one day I wake up and my whole right eye is swollen shut. I immediatly put ice on it and go up to the hospital. The provider told me it was a bug bite and prescribed me benedryl. Well just when I thought all was fine two day later I wake up to both eyes swollen shut. Again I immediately put ice on it and go to the hospital.
I have had swollen eye lids, top and bottom for 2 weeks. No discharge or pain, but my eyes are red. Dr. prescribed steroids and zpac for 5 days, but the symptoms are the same. I am not experiencing any allergy problem right now.
What would cause severe (almost swollen shut) eyelid swelling in the morning (uponn waking) - the eyelid skin is stretched and once the edema is gone, they skin is very red and painful.
We have pretty much ruled out allergies.
Of note, is a head trauma sustained 1.5 years ago (back of head hit pavement twice) - am still undergoing various treatments to relieve pressure in head - could manipulation of the nerves in the back of my head/neck cause eyelids to swell?
Any help is very welcomed.
For almost 3 yrs now, I have had a swollen upper left eyelid. It occasionally is accompanied by dull deep pain in my eye and sinus/septum also. For the last 2 yrs I have seen a variety of opthamologists, neuro-opthamologists, etc. Recent (less than 1 yr) MRI of orbit and brain was normal. Clinical exams have all been normal. However, every MD does acknowledge that there is swelling there, they just dont know why.
Some days I wake up with no pain, while others I need to keep my eyebrow very raised due to my eyelid being so swollen, and I also feel pressure around my upper right cheek and in my right ear I get random stabbing pain and ringing. I also feel like my eyesight is off, especially on days where the pressure is particularly bad it seems like I become very sensitive to light and it is hard to look at people in the eye.
blood tests for kidney, thyroid and liver problems; MRI, CAT scan. I also had eyelid surgery to reduce the fatty tissue there, as the opthamologist thought it was possible that the weight of the eyelids/lashes could be irriating the eye. I also went through several rounds of antibiotics as at one point the thought was that it was an infection of some sort.Most recently I had a biopsy, and so far, lymphoma has been ruled out.
If it's neurological there shouldn't be any actual swelling of the eyelid involved, hmmm if the eyelid is swollen then it 'could' make the eyelid just look like it's drooping down, have you seen your GP about it yet? As aspen mentioned it could be an infection or even a reaction bug bite on the eyelid, if it's been a few days and it's still swollen it'd be worth getting your GP to check it out.
Hope that helps....
When I was first diagnosed with ocular hypertenstion I had noticed that I had droopy and swollen eyelids,particularly in the morning which started about 2 years ago. This still persists and I have been recently diagnosed with an underactive thyroid by my primary care physician, but I have not yet started taking horomone replacement meds.

I've had 4 operations in the last 9 months for retinal detachment. After the first 3, my eye would always recover properly. The last operation which was done December 5th 2008, went well according to my doctor. I went to Africa for a little over a month to travel with family in January. I did everything the doctor told me, putting my eye drops in and not touching the eye as it healed. Now it's June, and for the past 3 months the upper eyelid on the affected eye has been swollen.

Is the surgery going to cure the other symptoms as well such as irritation and the swollen that comes and goes ( my right eye lower eyelid is red and has been that way for almost a month ) and what i am confused about is since the pressure comes from behind the eye what causes the eyelid irritation and swollen or does that require a different treatment to cure that problems , thank you again for your help

About three to four days ago my eye began to feel like I had been punched in the face on the left side. I woke up the next morning to find a swollen eyelid, and a few lumps about the size of a piece of rice to a pin head. I gave it a day then went to the after hours where they gave me drops. Its since been two days and it gets more swollen everyday, today being swollen shut. The outside is purple and red and the inside is bright red and the lumps are growing.
