What Are The Reasons For Swelling In Lips And Tongue After Coming Off Angiodema?
Hello I have had angiodema off and on for the last 5 years my lips and sometimes tongue will swell. It is very scary. I havent had any issues for a while but I did once I started wearing a copper brachlet I made from old copper tubing. I am trying to figure out what causes it.
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern for swelling in lips and tongue after coming off angiodema.
Urticaria and angiodema are a common condition caused by bursting of allergy producing cells known as "mast cells" due to certain aggravating factors present in the environment. As the chemical inside them is released it produces a rash which you have mentioned. There can be multiple factors producing this condition which are included in day to day life and some times it is really difficult to find one exact cause. In your case you are correlating it with exercises, hot climate,spicy food. So it is better to stay away from the offending factors.
The long term effective treatment for this is by oral anti histamine like loratadine under medical advise. It is one of the drug which is not having any side effects and can be taken for long term usage.
All the best.
