Bags under my eyes?
Question:
To give a little history - my man is gone over seas. He's in the Navy and I've been alone with my kids for the last 3 months. I have not been sleeping well. When I do sleep I have bad dreams which wake me up every 15 minutes. I don't have the advantage of sleeping in. I don't have much help around here, all of my family is out of state.
I don't know if my bags are due to lack of sleep, or something worse, but it's starting to scare me. I went to the doctors last month because I seemed to be retaining water. My blood pressure was 190/90; but I didn't have the bags under my eyes. He put me on meds for 10 days. Now my pressure is a bit better, and I don't seem to be retaining water; but I look like crap.
Does anyone know of any home remedies for this? I've tried putting hemorrhoidal meds under my eyes, I've tried potaoes and cucumbers; even bag balm, nothing is making this go away. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Answers:
THE BAGS ARE CAUSED BY LACK OF SLEEP AND STRESS.FIRST TRY TO STOP WORRYING SO MUCH, DON'T EAT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED, ASK THE DOCTOR FOR SOMETHING MILD TO HELP YOU SLEEP, AND TRY ICE PACKS ON YOUR EYES, THIS WILL HELP A LOT. YOUR HUSBAND IS IN MY PRAYERS. WE ALL SUPPORT OUT TROOPS. ALSO DO YOU HAVE ALLERGIES? THEY CAN CAUSE WHAT IS CALLED SHINERS, WHICH IS DARK CIRCLES.
