Tingling Sensation In Face And Lips And Swelling, No Breathing Or Swallowing Difficulties. Why Do I Have Headaches?
I have had 8 episodes of bending over and the side of my face begins to tingle, then it travels down to my lips which become "prickly" and swell very large. I have had it happen to each side of my lip and face, shortly after swelling I get a headache at my temple area around to behind my ear. No breathing or difficult swallowing. No common food or other situation to each occurence.

Welcome to HCM.
These type of symptoms is usually occurs after some allergy exposure.
Most likely it could be due to some insect bite.
You have to be watchful to confirm the allergen.
Otherwise take fexofenedin or levocetrizine to subside the allergic episodes.
B12,folic acid,minerals supplement will be helpful.
Consult your family physician to know the exact cause.
