What Causes Swelling Of Eyelid After Heart Surgery?

My husband is home recovering from heart surgery. Suddenly one of his eye lids swelled up after dinner. He didn t eat anything new and he has been taking his post surgery medicine for several days, so I didn t think it is from an allergy. Should I worry.
