Woke up this morning with slightly puffy upper eyelids. i feel fine for the most part besides some very mild pain in one of my eyes. i had chinese food last night and read too much salt can cause that, is that true?

"Puffy eyelids" ?'s: Chinese foods are prepared for sale by adding mono-sodium glutamate ( a preservative measure) which can cause swelling secondary to fluid retention to balance the high sodium in the bloodstream. Call your primary care physician, who may prescribe a diuretic medication to treat this condition. Alternatively, drink more water to neutralize the excess salt, promoting diuresis.
