Localized Facial Edema

[minoxidilmaxxed78]

I believe i tend to store a decent amount of fluid in my face naturally, but i think it worsened about 7 months ago after using doxylamine for sleep, idk if it is just a coincidence or not. I woke up the next day with literal eyebags whihc i have never had, they were kinda bruised looking, and very clearly had more fluid in them than usual. fast forwared to now, they havnt fully gone away and i have also noticed i have semi decent swelling in the soft tissue in my face (when i press down on my cheek it takes 7+ seconds for it to bounce back), which i believe began around the same time the eyebags appeared. I have allergies, and i am relatively sensitive to acute fluid retention/bloating in my face around meals (on top of my baseline facial fluid retention). I am planning on seeing a doctor soon for it i was just wondering if anyone had any simular issues/experiences, or could offer any help/insight, thanks. hope this made sense

I'm thinking of allergies or angioedema or maybe something involving the kidneys and or thyroid gland. I would just go to the doctor for blood tests and a urinalysis

it could definitely be allergies, i dont think it is angioedema as the fluid retention is throughout my whole face, and it is relatively mild, and doesnt really come and go. It basically just looks like very mild facial bloat that doesnt go away, its obv worse in mornings but even towards the end of the day it dosnt fully go away. also got bloods for kidneys, thyroid etc and they were perfect, however might get a urinalysis to be sure
