Angioedema is a part of inflammation of the inferior layer of skin and tissue just under the skin or mucous membranes. Swelling can occur on the face, tongue, larynx, abdomen, or arms and legs. It is often associated with hives, which swell on top of the skin.
There are four key types of angioedema: allergic, idiopathic, drug-induced, and hereditary.
This is the most common type and generally affects people who are allergic to a type of food, a drug, poison, pollen, or animal dander. In severe cases, a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis can occur. The throat can swell, making it difficult for the patient to breathe. Blood pressure can drop suddenly. This is a medical emergency.
This type of angioedema is neither chronic nor long-term. As soon as the person identifies which item is causing the allergic reaction, they can avoid it.
Certain medications can cause angioedema. These comprise angiotensin changing enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, a treatment for hypertension, or high blood pressure. According to Merck manuals, 30 per cent of angioedema cases seen in the emergency department are related to the use of ACE inhibitors. If your angioedema is due to the use of an ACE inhibitor, a healthcare provider may prescribe a different type of blood pressure medication.
Another common type of medication that can cause angioedema is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. These are common pain relievers.
If a disease is idiopathic, the cause is indistinct. In this condition, the doctor may not be able to identify a specific reason for angioedema after looking at all the usual causes.
Some types of angioedema are inherited. This means that numerous people in the family may have symptoms. In the case of hereditary angioedema, there is a problem with the C1 inhibitory protein. The patient will have low blood heights of the protein C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-1NH protein). In this type of angioedema, incidents of this disease will come and go over time.
The main symptom is swelling that develops under the surface of the skin.
Swelling caused by this disease can develop suddenly or appear gradually over a few hours. It usually lasts a few days.
In severe cases, the inside of the throat or intestine may be affected.
Often, the swelling presents with a raised, itchy rash called urticaria (hives). The rash usually evaporates up in a few days. Otherwise, the skin over the swelling may feel tight and painful, but it appears normal.
This can have numerous different causes, but in many cases the exact cause is unknown. Some of the main causes are described below.
Latex – A type of rubber secondhand to make medical gloves, balloons, and condoms.
Angioedema produced by allergies is known as allergic angioedema.
Some medications can cause this disease, even if you are not allergic to the drug. The swelling can occur shortly after starting a new drug, or possibly months or even years later.
It is caused by drugs is known as drug-induced angioedema.
The frequency with which the swelling occurs can vary. Some people knowledge it every week, while in others it may occur less than once a year. It is caused by a genetic responsibility is known as hereditary angioedema. If you have it, you have a 1 in 2 chance of transitory it on to your children.
In very rare cases, the swelling may be related to other medical conditions, such as lupus or lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system). It deprived of a clear cause is known as idiopathic angioedema.
You have had other allergic reactions.
This can be dangerous if the swelling causes the throat or tongue to block the airways.
Avoid known triggers: If you know what caused your hives, try avoiding that substance.
Take a shower and change clothes: If pollen or animal communication has caused hives in the past, bathe or shower and change your clothes if you are visible to pollen or animals.
To find out what type of you have, your doctor will examine you and discuss your symptoms. Blood tests may be done to get more details.
Medications to relieve swelling and inflammation, such as oral antihistamines and corticosteroids.
Other medications that relieve pain and swelling, such as leukotriene antagonists (a group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
If your disease is drug-induced, your doctor will usually switch you to another drug that he can handle better. For a severe attack, you may need an injection of epinephrine (a type of adrenaline). For repeated strong attacks, you may need to carry a pen-like device so that you can inject epinephrine in an emergency.
Q. I’m thinking of getting a 4K TV to watch all the March Madness and conference tournament games. But is this a good time to buy one? Is the price right? — Dave, Shaker Heights, Ohio.
Dave, unlike the Super Bowl, which was a so-so time to buy a 4K TV, this month’s college basketball championship is a very good time to get one for two reasons.
Click Amazon: See Today’s Top-Selling TVs!
1. There will actually be games in 4K!
The Super Bowl was not available in 4K, despite strong suggestions otherwise from retailers (who should know better) and journalists (who probably didn’t know better.). Consequently, it was silly to get a new 4K TV for a game that would only be broadcast in HD.
But DIRECTV, Dish, and the live streaming service, fuboTV, will all broadcast games from the Big East and/or Big Ten tournaments in 4K. The Big East and Big Ten tournaments begin this week so if you have one of those three providers, you could go get a 4K TV and watch all the action in the new picture format. (Note: If you don’t subscribe to DIRECTV or Dish, fuboTV offers a 7-day free trial, a great opportunity to check out its 4K coverage of this week’s conference championships without paying a dime.)
In addition, DIRECTV says it will broadcast games from the actual March Madness tournament in 4K. The event, which begins March 19, has never been available in 4K until this year.
2. TV makers are offering March Madness deals.
Set manufacturers often begin lowering prices this time of the year to clear out inventory and make way for the new year’s models. So you can find some great deals on TVs now at retail and online at sites such as Amazon.com. For example, Sony is selling this 65-inch 4K TV for under $1,000, and this 75-inch model for $2,398 with free delivery. (I paid $600 more for the 75-inch set just five months ago to give you an idea of what a good deal this is.)
Vizio has also reduced prices for many 2018 models, as has other TV makers. To see today’s best-selling TVs at Amazon, you can click here.
So, Dave, this is indeed a good time to buy a 4K TV, if you’re interested in upgrading from your current High-Definition TV..Episode 764 Show Notes

All of Scripture does lead us to Christ in its proper context. We have to understand the original passages in the Old Testament according to their context, their place in redemptive history, and how they ultimately lead us to Christ and his gospel.
