What Is The Reason For Swelling Of Lips And The Numbness In The Left Hand, Allergy Tests Being Normal?

hi docs i have been experiencing this prob for the past year or so. I am really concerned because though it does not happen every month it may have happened 3 times for the year already on occasions. i experience swelling of my lips, i have done allergy tests, blood tests etc but all come back negative . sometimes i experience i realize numbness only in my left hand and numbness not sure what causes it and the doctors i have been too cant and i feel cant be bothered to say the least they just brush it off and act like i have a problem when i try to find answers to this. january of 2012 i spent 4 days in emergency because i experienced the same numbness in my left arm after taking naproxen for chest pains i was experiencing. I am also asthmatic. can all these symptoms be related and what do you think is the possible reasons behind my sporadic lip\ swells i am very concerned. thanks for any advice or recommendations or referrals i am also thinking about going vegetarian and abstaing from meat. i have never in my life experienced this type of health episode/ thanks h
