I woke up yesterday scratching a bit at my face, at first I thought it was poison ivy, but when I woke up this morning (after a very restless sleep) my entire face was so swollen my eyes were almost closed. I called my doctor and she said "you shouldn't have to come in until you have trouble breathing." However, it makes me particularly concerned because at this point my face is extremely red, and a little itchy but most of the swelling has subsided. Anyway, I'm wondering if this might be something more serious than a reaction to some plant that hit my face or maybe food that I ate.
