Gloria: If this happens without food and worsened by emotional distress it is likely benign. But you should be mindful of red flags like food getting stuck, regurgitation of indigested food or weight loss. If lips are swollen, you have trouble breathing, have any redness or rash go to ER now. See your doctor in any case.
