So, when I was around 13 I very often had a pretty puffy face and eyes when I woke up in the morning, which went away during the day.
I had an eating disorder and for 2 1/2 years I had no period. It started again once I got a longer rest and regained normal weight. A few months into that I noticed my face being puffy again in the mornings, so I was wondering if I was going through like a second puberty and itīs related to hormones? This is already 2 years ago and itīs gotten better but sometimes I still have it, especially when itīs very hot outside or I sleep badly. Just wondering whatīs the reason. |

It is probably water retention, as it redistributes when you lay down. Try elevating your head some and see if that helps. (Fluid retention can also be a sign of heart failure, so you might want to tell your MD about it.)

Yeah, puffiness anywhere is generally not a good sign, is not related to hormones necessarily but something your doctor should now about and look into. Your kidneys could be having a problem and that's not good. With it being your face, my first thought was some allergen, dust mites, who knows? http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...s/con-20028330

As everyone else has said talking to a doctor seems a good next step just rule out anything nasty.
I was shocked to learn that my gums bleeding was hormonal. I had always been told that it was a sign of gum disease so at my last visit I spoke to him about occasionally noticing my gums would bleed not only when I brush but also when eating especially soft food such as bread. He told me he suspected it was to do with the normal hormone changes that occur around my menstruation but to keep a note and he was correct it coincides with my cycle. That's definitely something they didn't teach me in biology

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
