When i wake up, i have a body part swollen: hand, wrist, and bum chick, elbow. it looks as if i got stung but the swelling feels like an allergy.

Angioedema: There can be many reasons for the swelling you describe ranging from an allergic reaction to food or medicine; it may be due to an autoimmune release of histamine; or it may be due to an inflammatory mediator called bradykinin. It's important to know the underlying cause as it will change treatment. How long has it been there? has it happened before? Do you have hives? Have you tried any meds?
