Chrissy Teigen is not shy when it comes to sharing things with her millions of followers.
The 33-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and NBC’s “Bring the Funny” star shared a shot of her swollen lips after an insane flare-up of the autoimmune condition, Angioedema, which is a swelling of the deeper layers of skin tissue caused by fluid build-up. She believes it is the result of altitude sickness due to her flying from Los Angeles to Utah.

“Very upset and saddened that my own birth state, Utah, has chosen to poison me with terrible altitude sickness,” Teigen wrote in the first of her messages, detailing the painful experience.
She went on to share a photograph of her lips, looking really plump and shiny, saying they felt “so big it’s shiny and hard like glass.”

Teigen, who is visiting Utah for her friend Meghan Mackenzie and Luke Dillon’s wedding, went on to share video of her lying down with the caption: “This is premeditated murder if you ask me.”
“Luke, Meghan, why have you chosen to get married in a place which would try to destroy me?” she said in the video.
Friends of Teigen’s chimed in to the unsettling account, admitting they too experience similar situations, including “L.A.’s Finest star”, Jessica Alba who revealed, “It happens to me every time… it’s such a bummer. I’m sorry.”
Teigen was seen in an Instagram Story clip the same night, inhaling oxygen from a can to help reduce the swelling.
“Oh yeah, that’s good,” she said in the video.
Get well soon, Chrissy!
