Could The Hives And Swelling On Hands And Feet Be Due To Lisinopril Which Was Taken Since 10 Years?
My husband has been experiencing a severe allergic reaction to something this week. He has had hives, terrible swelling in hands, feet, and face, been to the ER, the allergist, and suffering terribly. The ER and Allergy Dr says it is the Lisinopril-hctz that caused this. He has been taking it for 10 years. Is it possible for this to happen?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Some persons can have a delayed reaction to allergens.
Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor and this family of medications is known to cause swelling and also cough.IN some cases the swelling can be severe and cause airway restriction.
If the swelling decreases once the medication is discontinued, you would know that this is the cause.
I hope this helps
