Post run facial edema?!

[Cherry Brigand]

Did about 4.25 miles this morning at a pretty aggressive pace for me and when I was done my left eye swelled up (not painful to the touch). This has only happened one other time (first time was just before quarantine) in almost two decades of off again on again running (I’ve been back at it for about 5 months). No one I’ve asked seems to have heard of anything like this before. Any ideas?

Cut it open a little to reduce swelling.

Getting dark around the eyes from dehydration I think, but I've never had swelling like that. Maybe some grit got in there or something, no idea.

Stay hydrated and be careful. Edema can sometimes be a result of more serious problems, but that's not necessarily the case. Maybe buy a bike or just run 2 miles fast. 4.25 is an odd distance to have negative effects from, tbh.

Last time it happened I did 9 on the treadmill.

I almost wrote “try not to be mesmerized by the photo” but I figured whatever was gonna happen was gonna happen.

Better than a Post edema run facial I suppose........

Is it just one eye?

I choked on a bug riding my bike.

do you have any known allergies?

the last time this happened, was it around the same time of year?

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Is it just one eye?

Yep. Just the left one.

last time it happened and the only other time was in March of this year.

Well of course there are heart issues that cause edema so be careful. Probably not that, but probably worth getting checked by a DR if keeps happening. If it goes down fairly quick then it's probably just a quirk of that eye.

Allergies are of course possible, but that would (I think) more often affect both eyes. Could easily be that too, however.

The only good thing about consulting sherdog members for medical advice is that there's no deductible.
