Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely an angioedema caused due to Lisinopril. Some people get that kind of reaction with this drug and other ACE inhibitor groups.In that case it is better to discontinue the drug and approach your doctor or ER as soon as possible some get severe angioedema.I use antihistamines and corticosteroids for treatment of this.Your drug Lisinopril should be replaced with a angitensin receptor blocker like telmisartan.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
