Can Heat Cause Swelling Of Lips?

Hi, I have an employee who has been working in extreme heat. He was feeling fatigued so we removed him from difficult work and placed him on light duty to rest a bit. He has worked most of a shift today on very light duty and feels fine, says he is drinking lots of fluids and has been all week. Out of nowhere his upper lift has swollen quite large today. Can this be heat related? He cannot think of anything he has eaten.
