How long are you going to stay in Iraq? Maybe you should have that checked once you get the chance!
I suffer from angioedema and this condition makes both of my lips swell and sometimes even my eyelids. Some people get tongue swelling and may experience problems with breathing. Do you have any other symptoms rather than the lip swelling?
There is acute angioedema if it happens only once like from an allergy but I suffer from chronic recurrent angioedema, and doctors can’t find the cause.
