Could angioedema be caused by abdominal pains?
Angioedema may depending on it's cause be accompanied by several symptoms (probably also what you describe), yet abdominal pains in themselves are not known for causing angioedema. First I would make sure your symptoms fit to angioedema, a self-limited, localized swelling of your skin or the tissue of the mucosa. In angioedema you have a loss of vascular integrity, which allows fluid to move into the interstitial tissues (inflammatory mediators). Angioedemas have several different causes and are associated with allergic reactions, can also be drug-induced (NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, fibrinolytic agents) and also are sometimes hereditary (C1 inhibitor deficiency). If you need a diagnosis I would consult a physician. Good luck to you.
What happens if you drink alcohol while on drinking?
ACE inhibitors can induce angioedema. ACE inhibitors block the enzyme ACE so that it can no longer degrade bradykinin; thus bradykinin accumulates and causes angioedema Consumption of foods which are themselves vasodilators such as alcohol or cinnamon can increase the probability of an angioedema episode in susceptible patients. If the episode occurs at all after the consumption of these foods, its onset may be delayed overnight or by some hours, making the correlation with their consumption somewhat difficult. In contrast, consumption of bromelain in combination with turmeric may be beneficial in reducing symptoms From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'Angioedema'
What causes angioneurotic edema?
Angioneurotic edema is actually a misnomer, as there are no known nervous components to its cause. Angioedema is similar to urticaria (hives), but the inflammation and fluid leakage occurs deeper in the dermis.It has a few triggers, but all lead to capillary dilation and leakage of interstitial fluid into intercellular regions.Hereditary Angioedema is usually by either a resistance to, or insufficient production of C1-inhibitor, which inhibits bradykinin: a vasodilator.Allergic Angioedema is a result of a foreign substance that continuously activates the body's complement system: a mechanism of the innate immune system that helps clear pathogens from cells and intercellular space.Drug induced Angioedema is usually caused by ACE inhibitors. ACE degrades bradykinin.
