puffy lips and cheeks

On Sunday when I woke up I had puffy lips. They felt a little tingly and numb. Then Monday morning when I woke up my cheeks were puffy along with my lips. When I woke up today they are both still puffy. I'm not sure what could have caused it?? Haven't eaten anything different from what I usually eat.

Hmmm...I've had this happen a few times, but I've always been able to attribute it to tanning bed, allergies/sinus, or a severe bout of crying the night before.

Could any of these be the culprit for you?

it might be allergies or sinuses...I really hope it does down by tomorrow coz I'm supposed to go pay a bill and then to the bank. I don't feel like going outside with puffy cheeks or lips.

Sounds like an allergy of some kind. Take an over the counter antihistamine and then consider seeing an allergist for allergy testing if you have never had this done. Why wait for something more serious to happen next time.

hey girl take some benidril if it goes away its allergy of some sort. if it don't then you may have blowfish syndrome Just kidding about the blow fish, however that is how you feel when you puff up like that. It's happend to me before. benadril worked!! good luck
