Is it bad that the areas under my eyes (lower lids) turn blood shot red after a hard workout?

asked almost 3 years ago | Report

I push hard, even after a long day at work and little sleep. I end up looking like a real sickie. I doubt it's anything I need to worry about, but it sometimes looks pretty gruesome. Thoughts?

  I have never heard of this happening. I just wanted to let you know that I have compassion for your concern and hope someone can give you needed advice. Best of luck to you and I hope this won't prevent you from moving forward with your training.

  Is it red and swollen like an allergic reaction? Or simply just red in color?

  Possibly just your genetics. Some people sweat a lot. Some don't. Some people get really red. Others don't. Sounds like the capillaries under your eyes are gorging with blood and draining slowly. You might try some cold compresses to see if that helps.
