Hello, whenever i wake up from sleeping my eye is often swollen on the left side of my face. this especially happens when i am menstruating. it norma?

Yes: Swelling can occur, usually on the side you sleep on. During menstruation, fluid changes in your body can be responsible for puffiness around the eyes that is most apparent in the morning. If this worsens or persists, you may want to discuss with your doctor.

I sleep with my left hand tucked under my head. My hand goes numb during the night. If i keep it at my side it does not. It also goes numb when I am holding a phone to my ear. Also, I have three trigger fingers when i wake in the morning. That stops late
