swollen eyebrows

few hours after I woke up, my eyelids felt little tight and dry. I thought I was going to get swollen eyelids but my eye brows got little red and became swollen. I never had my eyebrows swollen before and i was wondering if its something serious. when i blink, my eye lids feels heavy/dry. also could it be from take-out Chinese food? because I had them yesterday and some of my colleagues were suggesting it could be from MSG in Chinese food?

If it was MSG you would have had the problem within a hour of eating the take out. Can't tell what the problem is from your description.
