If you've had symptoms of hereditary angioedema (HAE), your doctor may ask:
What changes have you noticed?
Where have you had swelling? How often?
Have you had any in your face, neck, tongue, or throat?
Have you noticed any changes that happen before swelling begins?
Have you had any stomach problems or stomach surgery?
Does anyone in your family have a problem with swelling?
Have you or anyone in your family been treated for allergies?
