What Causes Pressure And Swelling Under The Eyes?

Dear doctor, I ve been dealing with this issue for a year now as many other people has been also with no answers to help us (I searched online and many people have this issue as well and they don t know what to do). There is constant pressure underneath around my eye area everyday. Right when I wake up my face feels normal for 10-20 seconds then boom! I feel mild pressure creeping into my face underneath my eyes and I can just feel it swelling up. And on top of that they look swollen also and hurts to drive on a sunny day. My face just feels nascuos and looks very tired. I am only 19, and I used to have a smooth baby face until one summer night I wake up with this. I gave it time to heal because I thought I might ve rubbed my eyes to hard last night (because they were itchy) but instead it just gets worse. My doctors have told me to sleep with my fan off and wear glasses instead of contacts and I have done that. And gave me numerous medications. I ve been going to countless eye doctors and allergy clinics for help and it s the same dissapointing result everytime. I hope there is a doctor on here that can help us enjoy our life once again.
