Brief Answer:
Should get rid what causes bags under eyes first...

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I understand your concern.

Taking into account your medical history, the bags under your eyes can be get rid with:
- limiting salt intake
- if kidney problem, should treat it adequately especially when it comes to urinary tract infection (with proteinuria)
- you mention to have sleep apnea. This makes me think of possible bad positioning when sleeping which can cause bags under the eyes. Adjusting your sleeping position and putting extra pillow can improve those bags under the eyes
- You suffer of COPD. You might be having runny nose or cold very easily, which also can cause bags under the eyes. Clearing your nose by using neti pot or just nasal flush, can help get rid of bags under the eyes

As you may see, treating of bags under the eyes is by treating the underlying cause.

Hope this helps.
