Question: I suddenly have been having puffy swollen eyes in the morning. Age 36. Take various supplements. Thyroid within normal limits. On testosterone replacement total and free test within normal limits. Could it be some other hormone? Growth hormone, DHEA etc that has dropped causing this. I also use nasonex for sinus issues but no change in these issues

Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good day.
There are lots of reasons for puffiness around eyes.
Testosterone can cause water retention and lead to oedema around eyes and in ankles. Other causes include proteinuria, low albumin levels, certain drugs like pain killers. High salty diet too can cause facial puffiness. Kidney failure is another cause.

You have mentioned that you are on various supplements.What all medicines are you on ?

Could you pleae explain what is the reason for testosterone replacement? ( i mean what was the underlying cause for low testosterone).

Thyroid hormone deficiency can cause puffiness, but you mentioned that it is in normal range.
GH deficiency can cause abdominal obesity, and occasionally odema.

Could you please answer above two questions?

Regards
Binu
