Swollen Tongue no one knows why

Hi, thank you for the information. I've been to the allergy/Immunology department and was told I am not allergic to any foods, also I don't get any rash, itching. The last five episodes it starts with a small lump on the side of my tongue and eventually grows staying mostly on one side until I can't speak. I have taken ACE inhibitors (Losartan) for a number of years, but I did stop for two months taking them but the swelling still happened. I kept a check on what I was eating, drinking etc and nothing, as with last time it was two o'clock in the morning when it started. The allergist I last spoke to said, It is likely I will continue to have problems until new technology comes along.
Best regards,
Ian

Hi Niki, I will look into the meds. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Hi Niki,
Question, have you ever suffered from acid reflex (heartburn) and if you have how severe and do you still?
My dr finally gave me allergy meds. I take Loratidine, Ranitidine and a nasal spray Fluticasone every day and my swelling has gone from every to once or twice a month. Now if one starts I tske liquid allergy meds to help it. Hope this helps.
I am on reflux meds and it was mentioned but didn't go any farther.

I had the same problem for 4 years. No answers or solutions. I was swelling every day. Every part of my body. Then I saw a doctor that said she didn't know but said she had 3 allergy meds she could give me. I said I would try anything.So she prescribed them for me. Now I still swell but I don't have er visits and I can control it by taking liquid childrens allergy medicine when it first starts. The meds are Ranitidine, Loratadine, and Fluticasone nasal spray. You might ask your doctor about them. They really helped me.
