For about 6 months for no reason my lips become very swollen sudden. no known food allergies. i don't know how to stop this. can you give advice why?

See allergist: If the swelling is not triggered by a specific food or drug (NSAID such as Advil (ibuprofen) , ACEI etc) and lasts much more than 24 hours without response to antihistamine, you may have a condition known as hereditary angioedema which can be life-threatening. See allergist.
