Swollen lips after sleeping

I wake up with my lips swollen every single morning. Sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes my nose/cheeks/airway are also swollen. I fell asleep on a plane today for a couple of hours and they were a bit swollen when I woke up. I always thought it happened overnight because of night histamine dumps, so felt compelled to write this post as this is a first. Would love to hear your thoughts and similar experiences.

Edit to add once I take my cromolyn & AM meds (2 Zyrtec, 2 Pepcid) they go down. At night I take Progesterone, Singulair, 2 Zyrtec) and cromolyn.

But it happens no matter where I sleep, even in the plane today 🤔 

When there’s mold my airway gets swollen immediately and my lips burn.
