It appears to be related to a kidney issue. Therefore, please first conduct the following tests to rule out the problem: Renal Function Test (RFT) Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Complete Blood Count (CBC) ESR Once these tests are done, we can proceed further with appropriate management."**

Swollen eyes persisting for several months could point to various underlying issues, and awaiting the results of your blood tests is a wise step. However, given your concerns and history with angioedema and high blood pressure, it’s crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider. From an Ayurvedic perspective, eye swelling is often related to imbalances in the body's doshas, particularly Kapha. Kapha excess can lead to fluid retention and stagnation, which may contribute to the puffiness you're experiencing. Here are some actionable steps: 1. **Diet Modifications**: It would be best to minimize salt intake as it can exacerbate fluid retention. Include diuretic foods like carrot, cucumber, and watermelon in your diet. Ginger tea or adding a bit of cumin to your meals can also enhance fluid balance. 2. **Herbal Remedies**: Apply a paste of ground coriander seeds mixed with water around the eyes. This may help in reducing inflammation and soothing the area. Ayurveda's "Triphala" is beneficial for cleansing and can be consumed daily with warm water at bedtime. 3. **Lifestyle Adjustments**: Elevate your head while sleeping using an extra pillow. This allows any excess fluid to drain away more easily from your face. Gentle yoga poses, like forward bends, can help in promoting circulation and lymph drainage. 4. **Eye Care Practices**: Use a cooled infusion of chamomile tea bags as an eye compress. Allow them to cool and then place them gently on your closed eyelids for about ten minutes. 5. **Seek Further Medical Evaluation**: While these practices may assist in managing the swelling, understanding the root cause through your pending test results is essential. Kidney issues or lingering effects from angioedema require direct medical supervision. If swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain or vision changes, seek immediate medical attention. Stay hydrated but within limits suitable for any potential kidney issues, and always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
