Well, how many docs do you think are on here?? I have seen a few nurse responses, so you might get a good one there, but this is mostly easy to start with.
Do you clean *all* makeup off your face before you sleep?
Try changing your detergent that you wash your pillow cases to a hyper-allergenic type. Arm & Hammer makes a good one.
Get a new, clean fresh pillow.
How about natural materials in your pillow cases??
If this doesn't work, actually go to a doctor. Tell him what you have done & go from there.

.
Go and have a test to check that your thyroid is working properly. It may be a goitre.
This is caused by a lack of iodine. You won't know until you go and have a blood test. It can also cause other problems, such as weight gain, brittle hair, and a whole host of other symptoms which can become serious, so I suggest that you go to the doc asap,just in case.

It could simply be an allergic reaction to something you do before and during sleep. Like make up remover, hand cream, laundry detergent and so forth. Try to switch or do without. if this does not help you can try an OTC anti histamine before you go to sleep and see if it does not occur.

this could be your kidneys
drink lots of cranberry juice
get a herbal kidney cleanse formula
avoid sugar, meat, salt, fizzy sodas & dairy cos these will make it worse
