What Causes Chronic Swelling In My Upper Eye Lids?

I have had swollen upper eyelids for about 8 years now. I have tried various allergy meds and nothing seems to bring the swelling down. my right upper eyelid is always more swollen than my left side. The swelling isnt on the eyelid itself but the whole area between my eyebrow and upper eyelid. The puffiness seems to drop down towards the outside corners of my eye. The puffiness is always worse in the morning or when i wake up from a nap. what is causing this?
