Angioedema is swelling beneath your skin. It can happen at many points on your body, including your:
Face
Throat
Larynx (your voice box)
Uvula (the little piece of skin that hangs from the back of your throat)
Arms
Hands
Legs or feet
It can also happen around your genitals and in your intestines. It’s common to get hives at the same time.
The swelling feels like large, thick, firm welts and can cause redness, pain, or warmth in the swollen areas. If it’s in your lower intestine, it can bring stomach pain. Angioedema can be dangerous if swelling is in your throat or tongue. That can make it hard to breathe. If this happens, you should get medical help right away.
