What Would Explain Waking Up With A Black Eye Without Any Injury Or Impact?
Question: Good morning I woke up today with a black eye under my right eye for no apparent reason. Can you explain thanks
Brief Answer:
Probably minor trauma, blood disorders should be excluded through exams.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The black eye is related to bruising because of broken vessels. There are many medical conditions that can cause bleeding without no reason.
The two main reasons can be:
- Minor trauma due to coughing, or blowing your nose
- Blood disorders
I suggest you to do some examinations to exclude any blood disorder. The examinations that should be done are:
- A complete blood level
- Platelets level
- Bleeding time and clotting time test
Meanwhile, you can relieve the symptoms by applying a topical Vitamin K 1% cream. You can also use cool compresses for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
