I have coughed up blood twice in the last month. Swollen right eye that goes into my cheek and sometimes my top lip. Then the next day it will b just my bottom lip. Now today it was my tongue and throat. This swelling happens in a matter of minutes. Right ear is also hurting today. And my lower jaw is aching. Chest is tight and my body feels like it is moving up and down when I am sitting still. Please help because my doctor isn t very helpful....

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are mostly having angioedema and allergic bronchitis.
Your symptoms like sudden onset swelling of eyes, lips, tongue, throat etc is characteristic of angioedema. It is acute allergic reaction.
Blood in coughing suggest hemoptysis. And it is seen in allergic bronchitis, lung infection etc.
So possibility of allergic disease is more in your case.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
You need antihistamine and anti allergic drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
