What can I do for hooded eyes I was born with? (Photos)

aseelsalem
I was born with hooded eyes. I have always experienced headaches and heaviness. I started to ask myself if this may be from my hooded eyes. My parents and I are against plastic surgeries unless they are functional and not only for cosmetic reasons. Based on the pictures, does it look like my eyes may be causing me headaches? Also, Do you think I will be a good candidate for plastic surgery covered by insurance? I am 19 years old.
