      Hello, I am 23 years old female. Today morning I woke up with a swelling on my face. The area under my eyes, cheeks were swelled. In the middle of the night, I felt uneasy and had difficulty in breathing. I ignored but when I woke up this morning with the swelled face I am scared. Yesterday at night my friend was having peanuts so she offered. I never had one so I gave it a try. Am I overthinking or can peanuts cause swelling on the face? What should I do now?
