What's making my face puffy?

For the past couple of days I woke up with a really puffy face. So much so that the skin between my eyelid and my brow is 'resting' on my eyelid.

No change in sleep or skin care. All I can think of is that while we usually cook with little to no salt, earlier this week my DH made a soup and used more salt than usual. We've had this soup for the past two days. Could salt be the culprit? The other ingredients in this dish are a stock cube, prawns, broccoli, noodles and tabasco. These are ingredients we eat on a regular basis with no adverse effects.

If salt is not the issue, any idea what could have given me such a puffy face? My DH is not affected. I will not be eating this soup today to see if that makes a difference.

It IS salt, and all the stuff in the cube, probably (salt plus MSG etc). Drink loads of water and hopefully it will go away

Thank you. I heard somewhere that salt could do that but WOW. It wasn't a lot of it but the effect is significant.
