Question 1

is it normal for my eyes to feel itchy when waking up in the morning?

Accepted Answer

NO: Eye scratchiness and itching upon awakening is often due to dry eye rather than allergy.  Try putting in some artificial tears and see if that helps.  See your ophthalmologist when you are able since it may also be related to eyelids that do not completely close when sleeping.

Question 2

what can i do to stop itchy, crusty eyes in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Warm water rinses: This symptom is most often caused by blepharitis, a very common chronic inflammation of the eyelids, of usually uknown cause. Could also be "allergies". Try rinsing your eyes several times a day with warm water, i.e. In front of a sink, or in the shower. If the symptoms persist, see an eye md (ophthalmologist) for diagnosis and treatment advice.

Question 3

i've been having a headache for the past four days which occurs early in the morning and persists everytime i roll my eyes up. i don't have a fever but my eyes are painful and itchy at times. i've been taking grandpa but no help?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Persistent headache with itchy, painful eyes sounds like you may have allergies that have caused increased pressure in your sinuses. Start with a non sedating antihistamine (loratidine, cetirazine or fexofenadine) daily, then add a decongestant daily. Do saline nasal washes twice daily until you see relief.

Accepted Answer

Best to see doctor: This is a reaction or allergy to something. It seems severe that even your lips are swollen. Allergy can happen in most parts of your body including your airways and even intestine so it is best to be evaluated and treated as soon as possible to avoid complications or to take away offending factors if known.

Question 7

hi i'm wondering why when i wake up in the morning first thing is i get an itchy throat at the back and itchy lips then soon itchy eyes and itchy nose?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Eyes, nose &amp; palate itching are classic signs of allergies. You could have a sensitivity to dust mites which you are exposed to throughout the night. Try covering your mattress and pillows with dust mite covers and wash your sheets on the hot cycle once a week. See an Allergist for skin or blood testing to confirm sensitivity. Can treat with daily nasal steroid sprays like fluticasone or nasacort (triamcinolone).

Question 8

i am experiencing itchy watery eyes, runny nose  itchy throat, cough, frequent throat clearing, and hoarse in the morning and had throbbing ha

Accepted Answer

Head cold: mostly viral, and will take its course, however you need to rest, hydrate yourself well, salt water gargles, painkillers, and may be decongestants, if no problem with high blood pressure, several combination medicines OTC can help, but read the labels carefully, if no improvement, see your doctor, good luck

Question 9

i woke up yesterday morning with a popped blood vessel in my eye it hasnt spread its not itchy no discharge just wondered if theres something i can put on it to get it back to normal

i woke up with a busted blood vessel in my eye ?

Accepted Answer

No treatment: There is no treatment for a subconjunctival hemorrhage. These tiny capillary leaks do not cause visual symptoms and take a week or so to clear. If they occur repeatedly or if you have frequent unexplained skin bruising, you should consult a physician for blood testing. Taking aspirin or medications like ibuprofen,naproxen or corticosteroids can lead to easy bruisability as can vitamin C deficiency

Question 10

happens at night watery itchy eye wake up in the morning with swelling underneath the eye?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: You may have a type of allergic conjunctivitis  o a low grade ocular inflammation. There are very specific eye drops to treat this condition; however, you must be examined and evaluated, since these medications are only available with a prescription. Oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will be helpful.
