Daily progression: M: face felt tight; T: cheeks full, face feels sunburned; W: cheeks more full & tingly with pink apples; TH: sides of face tingle and feel full especially when smiling F: friends say my pink cheeks look filled with tire repair; SA: muscles tremble when I half smile, sides of mouth bulge, I called doctor, sent him photos & video of trembling smile & swollen cheeks. His response = my cheeks looked like Angiodema; it would dissipate and I should go see my GP about shaky smile.
