I wake up with a really swollen eyelid on one side sometimes, usually if I have a cold or if I slept really hard. My doctor explained it - something about fluid drainage or something like that -but ultimately it was harmless. Good luck! Let us know what the doc says! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220281 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 01:35:32 +0000 Cherrybee 2220281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: My eye twitches too! </p> <p>@Lilbear: Mine look at their worst in the morning but I guess that's when i feel most tired. I actually don't know if it would look better after a good nights sleep because I havent had one for two years! </p> <p>@Greentea: Tired eye! I like it! :happy: </p> <p>Thanks everyone. I will get it checked out and report back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220258 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 23:45:57 +0000 wheres_c 2220258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad has this and it's due to a neurological condition - myasthenia Gravis. Go get checked out just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220224 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:40:49 +0000 Lilbear 2220224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is called ptosis. One eyelid gets droopy as the day goes on and it is exacerbated by tiredness. I have it too and it isn't totally uncommon. They usually look normal in the morning after you wake up. If it gets severe or crazy there is a plastic surgery remedy available (from what I understand). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220221 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:31:43 +0000 mrbee 2220221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem too. When I was exhausted, one of my eyes would also twitch uncontrollably from time to time. Once I got more rest, the problem went away. I'm no eye expert though! And @mrs.cookie: scared the crap out me with the mention of lymphoma so I would definitely see a doctor!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220160 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 19:58:24 +0000 Anagram 2220160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just saw this. It could be nothing, or just tiredness but I would get it checked out anyway--in case its mild blepharitis or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220147 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 19:34:34 +0000 Greentea 2220147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: DH actually gets this with extreme exhaustion/ when he is sleep deprived! Pre-DD I used to call it his "tired eye," I'd be like, "go to sleep, you've got your tired eye." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2220132 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 19:07:33 +0000 mrs.cookie 2220132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>honestly, I would go get it checked out. Better safe than sorry, and rather than worrying about it you can almost certainly put your worries aside once a dr checks it...<br /> (And had the experience of worrying about an enlarged gland, which did turn out to be lymphoma, far better to know and get early treatment on the incredibly off chance it is something more serious!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2219156 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 00:59:56 +0000 Cherrybee 2219156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: Thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2219057 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 21:49:34 +0000 gracecat 2219057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm.... It could very well be from lack of sleep. My mom had no creased in her eyelid before kids but after kids one eyelid formed a crease and the other didn't! It wasn't medical, just from kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-one-eyeeyelid-is-growing-bigger-than-the-other#post-2218614 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:56:04 +0000 Cherrybee 2218614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first noticed this about a year ago but it was so slight DH couldn't even tell. Now its quite pronounced. I put it down to exhaustion because my 2 year old still doesn't STTN but doubt is starting to creep in now. </p> <p>I've no pain or anything and my eyesight is fine. </p> <p>Any thoughts?</p> <p>[attach=2581/15/nqindg.600x600.Phototastic-25_06_2015_d5e9ef8b-610a-40c4-8e21-773dd971e78b.jpg] </p>
