Angioedema, could it be my Hashimoto's?

Angioedema on face, cheeks, upperlip,... without hives. Antihistamines do not work.
Been tested for allergies but was all negative.
I have hashimoto's. Could this be related ?
I'm not hypo, taking 3grains of NDT.

Hoping to help me sort things out!

Edema of the face, especially, under/around the eyes is very common with hypothyroidism.

Could you please post your current thyroid hormone levels, so you can see your actual status?  Even though you're taking replacement hormones, you may not be on the correct dosage and could still be slightly hypo.

When you post lab results, please be sure to include reference ranges, since ranges vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own report(s).
