What Does Swelling On The Face Along With Dizziness Indicate?

Hi, Since I was about 5 I ve had an issue with the side of my face swelling to an uncomfortable size. I m 22 now and it has returned only this time it s causing me to lose my balance while standing and, I believe, have migraines as these are new things I m experiencing this time around. I never got a clear diagnosis but does this sound familiar?
