Allergy: this sounds like you are exposing your lips in the morning to something which stimulates an allergic reaction called angioedema. Itching elsewhere in the body may occur. Write down everything which contacts your lips after you wake up until the swelling starts. Toothpaste, mouthwash, whatever. Lipstick. Everything. And then remove one thing every day. If your lips don't swell you have the culprit.
