Does Lisinopril Cause Red Eyes, Runny Nose, Tickle In Throat?

I have been taking 40mg of lisinopril for over a year, it worked fine, but now all of a sudden, I have severe runny eyes, they are always red, a runny nose, a tickle in my throat, and have fluid retention(even though I am taking 25 mg of HCT daily). After reading the reviews of lisinopril, I think this med is the cause, could this be the case?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The cause of your symptoms because of the Lisinopril is very unlikely, you are taking it since one year, even if we consider the late sensitivity of the drug then also this does not justify because late sensitivity does not cause the cold like symptoms but that induces anaphylactic reaction, the cause of your symptoms could be allergic hypersensitivity due to some food, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
