Does Using CPAP Machine Causes Swollen Lips And Headache?

I woke up this morning with a little swelling of my upper lip. I took a Benadryl and immediately it started to subside. I went on to church and before I got home the left side of my lip was swollen. I took 2 Benadryl this time but my lip continued to swell . I also have a slight headache. Could this be because of my c-pap and what can I do.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, CPAP machine had nothing to do with lip swelling.
Since your lip swelling was improved by taking benadryl, possibility of allergic cause is more likely.
So along with benadryl, also take montelukast (anti allergic).
For headache take simple painkiller like paracetamol.
Avoid dust and pollution.
Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
