Hello
As you stated that , you are taking anti hypertensive ace inhibitors i.e. lisinopril 20 mg in the morning , while lansoprazole in the evening ( for acidity ) .
The main side effect of lisinopril is cough , respiratory tract infection , rash , headache etc.
In your case phlegm in the throat may be the side effect of lisinopril or due to bronchoconstriction ( as you mentioned that there is wheezing ).
So this is post nasal discharge , bothering you .
So either consult your physician or wait for sometime till lisinopril adjust in body .
Good luck.
