Hello,
It seems like you have Angioedema which is a subcutaneous swelling. Angioedema is a known side effect of ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril. I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine tablet once a day for a few days.
Also, Lisinopril needs to be substituted with another group of antihypertensives e.g calcium channel blockers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
