A member asked:

My upper lip has tripled in size in the past 30 minutes and become rock hard. i have never had any allergic reactions to anything.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may have one now: You have angioedema. This is usually an allergic reaction to food but rarely is caused by a defect of the blood clotting system called c1 esterase deficiency or hereditary angioedema. Certain drugs used for high blood pressure called ace inhibitors can also cause angioedema but at age 24 its not likely you are using one. Ice to the lip & antihistamine like Allegra (fexofenadine) now. See an allergist for answers.
