First of all...if you can help me, thank you SO much! (Sorry it's a bit of a read! o.O )
Hi, I'm new here and I'm really not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but it seems the most appropriate even though it's nasel pain (which I don't have any of - I used to but I'll get to that) It's more of the eyes that are the issue.
I can't figure out myself if it's a sleep problem, or a sinus problem %-) but I sleep well - 8 hours a night with no interuptions. When I wake up...I have no eye lids o.O the top part of my eye between my eyebrow and lid is swollen (cucumber will bring it down a little but not much) it calms itself during the day though and by the time I've taken my make up off at night, there looks like there's no problem - I have a full-perfectly conditioned eyelid, lol.
But throughout the day I'll experience ....
Aches behind my eye balls
Sometimes my eyes will suddenly feel more watery (almost like they were filling up with tears, but then it goes)
When I close my eyes, they burn
My eye balls feel enlarged
My eye lash lines sting
Sometimes when I pull the skin to look into the bottom part of my eye it looks a little yellowy
My eyes down look as white as they should do and sometimes look like I've been in a smokey room.
I think that pretty much covers it, OH! And a get a LOT of tension headaches in the same place - my temples and forehead (sometimes it goes through my eyes too) Occasionally the back of my neck will ache.
Some people have said to me "are you sure it's not your eye make up?" because I wear a lot of it (Full blown rock chick here don't ya know XD ) but I really don't think it's that. I've been wearing it for years and this swelling of my eyes only occurs when it wants to. I guess last time it dissapeard on it's own...somehow. Also, I wear it all day and I figure if it was my make up I'd be aware of the irritation the whole time, but I'm not.
I was wondering if it was sinus related because I had this before, although then I used to get pressured eye sockets (which I havent had any more of thank God because that was awful! o.O ) I used to get a lot of pressure in my nose too (which also hasn't happened...so far so good) but sometimes my glands will swell and it will feel like my throat can't make up it's mind whether it wants to be sore or not. %-)
So, question....Do you think it's sinus or sleep related? I go to bed at 12 ish every night and I'll get up at 8. I've read the best part of sleep is supposed to be before 12 but I've tried going to bed earlier before - no difference. %-) Also, I don't really ever feel tired physically.
Thanks so much if you've read all of this!
