Hi , welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
ACE inhibitors ( lesinopril ) are pretty notorious for causing angioedea ,so if it has happened after the drug was started , this most probably was because of the drug, in such cases i would personally advise to avoid these drugs .
Hopes i have answered your question .I would be happy to answer any further question if you have.
kind Regards n
Dr Raha
