Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha Battles Stress-Linked Mystery Facial Swelling

Nadia Sawalha, a panelist on the ITV show Loose Women, has revealed she is dealing with a painful and mysterious eye condition causing significant facial swelling. Initially suspecting an allergic reaction, she later attributed her symptoms to stress after consulting with Dr Zoe Williams, who advised her to practice deep breathing and take time out. Nadia described her face as feeling "bruised" and shared that she hadn't cried properly in years, linking the stress to her physical condition. She humorously recounted a conversation with her sister who commented on her swollen appearance, comparing it to having "three bottles of Sauvignon Blanc" and falling asleep in a hedge. Fans have expressed concern and support, recognizing the impact of stress on physical health. Nadia's openness has highlighted the often unseen ways stress can manifest, even as she continues to fulfill her role on the show despite her condition.
