My eyelids feel heavy, is this normal? (Photo)

January 1, 2017
Asked By:penncal in Redwood City, CA

I find myself lifting my eyebrows all the time because my eyelids feel heavy. More my left eye than my right. My eyes feel more awake when I lift my brows, and I feel like I can almost see just a little better. My eyes are a little hooded, but not much, so I don't know why my lids feel like a weight. But I'm getting tired of lifting my eyebrows because it's giving me forehead wrinkles.
