What Causes Swollen Eyes And Lips?
I was wondering why do I always wake up with swollen eyes and lips. I do have big ayes and lips naturally. But I always notice that they seem to be swollen in the morning. Not painful and it goes away through out the day. I was curious behind the science of why this happens?!

Basically venous return increases when we lie down I.e blood from legs come to upper body and increase pressure. Leads to extravasation of fluid which again gets redistributed during day. If it settles easily, and you are having no other complaints, there is nothing to worry, I think
