Eyes turning yellow around the sides

[xchelix]

I recently noticed that my eyes were slightly yellow around my eyes and I was concerned whether it might be jaundice or not. I’ve been having some stomach pain and lightheadedness lately, but never thought anything of it. I drink occasionally and sleep more than usual but usually feel fatigued. I’m considering going to the doctors to get checked out but just want to make sure what might be going on.

The only way you can find out whether you actually have anything of concern is to see a doctor for simple blood tests. Jaundice occurs as a result of bilirubin build up in your blood stream and a simple test will determine that. It is actually against forum rules to post photographs for comment since photos reproduce poorly on screen and none of us are medically qualified to offer comment.

You don't generally need to pull your eyelids back (as you have done) to reveal jaundice change in your eyes.

Go and see your doctor. Explain your concerns and get the necessary tests.
