Welcome to TM, Jmills!
You might want to check out where the mouthpiece rim sits on your face--is the top of the inside of you rim on your upper lip, or on the skin above? Likewise for the bottom lip. Do both lips swell? What kind of practice, what kind of mouthpiece, who long have you been playing?
Plenty of good folk here at Trumpetmaster, eager and willing to help--a little more information would make the fun challenge of diagnosing stuff over the internet more productive.
Good luck!
