Re: Swollen, Puffy, Droopy Eyes symptoms anyone?

I was wondering if thyroid is the cause too. My blood panel was more suggestive of hypopituitary causing the thyroid and adrenal issues. I'm still looking into this angle.

The morning thing for me im sure is related to the really low cortisol which the panels i've done have shown. Morning reading was the worse out of the 4 lows. I have no problem getting out of bed, it's the waking up part i struggle with - i feel like i'm still sleeping/dreaming and its only after 4 hours of being up i start to feel 'energy' coming up.
When i first wake i find my eyes won't open...they're very heavy...i try to sit up, and normally slump into sleep again. This happens a few times. So i force myself out of bed and am wondering around with half open heavy tired eyes. I feel drugged for 4 hours to be honest yet am on nothing at all!

Maybe the eyes are looking so swollen due to having the wrong type of sleep?
One doctor said my sleep symptoms sound like narcolepsy, which also came up on my gene test.
This apparently is due to the brain not going into deeper restorative sleep waves, and remaining at dreaming waves of sleep - the reason most narcoleptics have lots of dream recall.

I wonder if this sleep brainwave activity is literally causing me to feel so tired so my eyes now look so tired?
I've tried binaural beat type frequencies during sleep but they're horrible to listen to, not calming, and keep me awake!

Thought i'd ask here again about this symptoms 'cos i know most of us here have thyroid/adrenal/pituitary imbalances going on yet haven't read others talk about it much, so i've been questioning if it's something else. Tweet
