A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE I WAS PRESCRIBED " LISINOPRIL " AND THE REACTION I GOT FROM THAT MEDICATION WAS ( THROAT SWELLING, TONGUE SWELLING, AND FACIAL SWELLING ) LONG STORY SHORT IT ALMOST KILLED ME I NOW TAKE AMLODIPINE HCT 5Mg THE MORAL OF MY COMMENTS IS THAT PEOPLE CAN AND DO HAVE ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO SOME MEDICATIONS

I experienced the same thing with accupril. Through my doctors research, she found that the drug is known to cause this reaction in African Americans. So it may be something with "pril" drugs. Google it.

I know exactly what you’re talking about because I too was taking Lisinopril for many many years and woke up one morning choking to death. My husband had woke me up before leaving for work earlier that morning and had given me my meds before going to work and I went back to sleep only to wake up a few hours later choking and could not say a word. I called him at work and just ssid gagagagajelp he immediately flew home rushed me to the ER of the nearest hospital. Thank God the Doctor working in ER that morning knew exactly what was happening and called for every nurse and Doctor to come over to look at my Ucla in the back of my throat because I was having a Anaphylaxis Reaction to my Lisinopril. I got to the ER In record breaking time and my life was spared. Thank The Lord πŸ™πŸΌ so what she is saying is very truthful. Believe her!

Lisinopril is very dangerous for your health. I've been off Lisinopril for over 20 years. My advice is to stop taking Lisinopril. Drink Beets Juice every day.

I am so sorry this is happing to you. I will pray for you now. Father God in the mighty name of Jesus please heal my friend. She needs your help right now . My daughter had me to tell my doctor that lisinopril was no good for Black people. The doctor got angry asked me was my daughter a doctor. I said no I said she researched the medication history. I stopped using it..

I took lisinopril blood pressure medication for two and a half years had no problems then all of a sudden one night I was over at my mom's and I started to go to sleep started feeling really tired luckily my mother was in the same room with me and she started hearing me wheezing and trying to breathe she turned around and looked and saw that my lips were swelling in my tongue was hanging out of my mouth swollen it started to swell my throat completely closed they rushed me to the hospital and they put me in I found out that evening that there was also a man and I see you fighting for his life from the same medication so it is possible for it to happen I know I've been there and it was no joke

So sorry you had this reaction to lisenapril. Seems every prescription out there has side effects and some are deadly. I'm sure your doctor can prescribe something else.
