Lisinopril. My lips became swollen while I was there and I was told it was because of the test I had done earlier. I replied, ‘no something is not right,’ but they continued to say I was ok, it’s because of the test.“I suffered in pain for a week and 2 1/2 days while lying in the hospital. The doctors could not find or figure out was going on and said ‘we feel like it would be safe to send you home.’ They then released me from the hospital with instructions, a 2 week follow up appointment and another colonoscopy and also with an added blood pressure pill to go with the lisinopril.“Once at home I continued taking my blood pressure pills according to the doctors directions. The pain, vomiting, diarrhea and the horrible coughing, continued. I began having chest pains and shortness of breath, I thought it was because I was trying to do too much to fast.“On January 17 my upper lip started to swell and later that night it got worse. The next day when I woke up I looked horrible. My face, upper lip and neck were swollen even more. I returned to the ER that’s when the ER Doctor said I was having an allergic reaction to the lisinopril. They began to give me steroids and other meds to stop what was going on and to keep my throat from swelling up as well. They then released me with a prescription for a 3 day steroid fix. I could have died. Feeling safe enough to send me home the first time almost cost my life.”Taking ACE Inhibitors for Hypertension:ACE inhibitors can be very effective medications for many people.
