Lower eyelid water rention

[oswaldosalcedo]

i have swollen eyelids (some facial edema too), estradiol levels high 60 pg/ml, normal cortisol , next to take a test of aldosterone, and free T3, T4 and TSH.

is aldosterone excess, the problem (by estrogen) ?
  
I have read this too.

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1981 Apr 3;673(4):387-93.

Graves antibodies otherwise known
as  TSI.

oswaldosalcedo,

Follow thru free T3, T4 and TSH with Graves antibodies (TSI) also. That would be a complete
thyroid profile for your eyes. You can have
thyroid eye disease without having problems
with your free T-3, T-4 or TSH. The anti-
bodies will tell more.

Good Luck,  TJ
