Allergic reaction: You might be describing an allergic reaction to one of your medications (or some other allergen). Inform your prescribing doc who may recommend one or more medications. Or may recommend an antihistamine. If you notice lip/tongue swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or difficulty swallowing/breathing, etc, it's an emergency & time to call 911. This is anaphylaxis (http://goo.gl/yyNGYg).
