Swelling Inside Lips

A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Olympic Peninsula, WA

My tongue has been swollen for several months. I noticed the inside of my upper lip felt funny a couple of days ago. Now I have a swollen area inside my upper lip and my lower lip. Could this also be amyloid deposits?

She better take some interest. You life and health are on the line. Maybe she should read what DR google says about it.

I don't know but I read on here, some people get that. I have an appt with my nutritionist on Tuesday and will ask her if she knows. I am sorry you are having this problem. Jim

I read that swelling of the tongue is a symptom of cardiac amyloidosis.

She ordered an echo and nuc med stress. One a month out and the other 2 months out. Hopefully my new PCP who read my chart and moved my appt up a week will have something to tell me. She really did not take a lot of interest. She also ordered tests for inflammation, RA, PMR, and Sjögren feeling positive it is not my heart. They were all neg.
