What Causes Puffiness Under The Eyes?

I take 50 mg tramadol for severe pain, as well as 80 mg aspirin and synthroid for my thyroid. I want to know what’s causing a lot of puffiness under my eyes for the last 6 months. Last week my doctor checked my thyroid and liver enzymes and said everything looks good. What’s causing them to get so puffy? .

Hello,

The most common causes of eye puffiness are:
1. Hypothyroidism.
2. Kidney function problems.
3. Allergic reactions.
So, I recommend that you check your kidney functions by doing: Creatinine, urea, Na and K level.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmoud Abouibrahim
