Forehead swelling

Hi guys.. looking some help my gp was terrible and said nothing to worry about but why would my forward just start to swell! It also has a pulse on the swelling..looks like big veins coming through just out of the blue. I told him I had some palpitations too but he didn’t seem to care and a slight sore upper stomach/arm. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone ever had anything similar?

Might be hives - try antihistamine tablets

They didn’t even take my bp..which is usually high, just said doesn’t think it’s sinister but I’m left going..is it going to go away? Why did it appear, dunno if I need a second opinion 🙈

I was about to say the same. It would be worth going back, but go to a different GP x
