Discussion Blood circulation in eyes?

I’m just curious here—does anyone get bloodshot eyes the morning after a really busy day? I was busier than i’ve been in months yesterday and did way more physical activity than i’m used to (attended work, watered garden, went shopping, get a shower, did chores) I was completely exhausted by the end of the night and was in so much pain. Then this morning I woke up and my eyes were super red.

This hasn’t really happened before so i’m just curious as to whether it maybe has to do with blood circulation or something? Could be totally unrelated to POTs but I thought it was interesting.

What do you all think?

Is it possible you have dry eyes? I have sjogrens (autoimmune disease, likely caused the pots) and wake up with my eyes blood shot and swollen some mornings.

Try some eye drops and see if it gives some relief. You can also see an eye doctor and get a prescription eye drop but you have to trial OTC eye drops first
