The reality television star previously believed her symptoms began after contracting a parasite during a trip to Morocco.

For months, Glanville suspected a parasite was responsible for her condition, saying she could "feel it moving within her face."
She has since been diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema, a condition that causes sudden swelling beneath the skin.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, angioedema involves swelling in the deeper layers of the skin and mucous membranes.
"[Angioedema] is a reaction similar to hives that affects deeper layers of the skin. It can appear with hives or alone," Mayo Clinic states, as cited by Fox News.
Speaking on her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, Glanville also revealed that doctors discovered a "benign tumor" in one of the lymph nodes in her face.
The latest diagnosis has provided another piece of the puzzle as doctors continue investigating the cause of her symptoms.
Glanville Opens Up About Medical Journey
Glanville has discussed her ongoing health battle across several recent episodes of her podcast.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, guys. I thought I was fixed, and then it happened again and now it's sinking in again," she said.
"It could be why the fluid is going around my face and why I'm having a hard time."
Before discovering the benign tumor, Glanville revealed she had spent more than $100,000 on medical care and consulted around a dozen doctors in an effort to find answers.
She stressed that the tumor is "not cancerous" and does not pose a cancer risk.
Glanville also said she believes her ruptured breast implants may have contributed to her symptoms, suggesting leaking silicone could have clogged her lymph nodes.
Brandi Glanville Unfiltered debuted in November 2013 and features interviews with celebrities alongside discussions about pop culture, fashion, and entertainment news.
The podcast description promises "uncensored access to celebrities, and dishes about pop culture, fashion and celebrity gossip."
"Listeners get the inside view of her latest reality tv appearances, personal gossip, family fun and relationship drama," the description adds.
