How to track
your HAE
Be proactive when it comes to HAE
Living with hereditary angioedema (HAE) isn't always easy. An HAE attack can be more than an interruption in your daily routine. It can be physically and emotionally painful, and sometimes scary. Keeping track of your HAE gives you a way to take action and spot any sudden changes in your symptoms or identify patterns over time, so you can share them with your doctor.
Consider using a journal to help

What happens during a hereditary angioedema (HAE) attack?
Before an attack, some patients experience early warning signs, also called prodromes, such as tingling, rash, fatigue, or nausea. Please keep in mind that an HAE attack can also happen without warning, so you should always be prepared in case of an emergency. If you haven't done so already, consider asking your doctor about on-demand treatment. Learn more about symptoms.
