Lower eyelid water rention

Lower eyelid water rention

i have swollen eyelids (some facial edema too), estradiol levels high 60 pg/ml, normal cortisol , next to take a test of aldosterone, and free T3, T4 and TSH.

is aldosterone excess, the problem (by estrogen) ?
  
I have read this too.

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1981 Apr 3;673(4):387-93.

sodium  147nmol/l  (mild hypernatremia).
potassium 3.4 nmol/l (mild hypokalemia).
on non diuretic use:


testosterone 7.5 ng/ml.

oswaldosalcedo,

Follow thru free T3, T4 and TSH with Graves antibodies (TSI) also. That would be a complete
thyroid profile for your eyes. You can have
thyroid eye disease without having problems
with your free T-3, T-4 or TSH. The anti-
bodies will tell more.

Good Luck,  TJ
