Symptom narrative

Started at around 12:00am same night I received the vaccine. Woke up with large very itchy hives on both inner thighs, inner arms, armpits, Has continued every night since. Took Allgra hives medication about 2 days later which seems to calm the hive down but they return next night. Several days later, experienced swelling on left side of upper lip and swollen bottom lip. Used ice to calm down. Returned again when bottom lip swelled again. Went to local walk in clinic. Doctor mentioned that the swelling of lip might have more to do with my blood pressure med and that I should see my doctor. He prescribed a 5 day steroid. I am on day 3. Went to see my doctor who prescribed and different bp med and recommended that I see an allergist. Have appointment next week. This morning woke up with hives on inner left and right arms and inner thighs (l&r).
