Lisinopril and yesterday morning

62 year old female, taking Lisinopril for over a year. I was at lost for my symptoms until I read this site, pain in arm, don`t sleep, itching all over, Head ache, pressure on back of head Dizzy, trouble walking,depression,loose of memory etc.( history of a benign brain tumor about 10 years ago) Pressure was so bad I made a appointment with my neurosurg) Talked to a Pharm. He suggested to not take it one night and see. I did and the pressure went away.I called the Cardiologist. His nurse really told me off and that I was not having any side effect, something was going on, but not Lisinopril as I had taken it for so long. She was just plain rude! She would not call anything else in for me either. I am titrating it and and looking for a new doctor!!

I have been taking lisinopril for five years with zero side effects. Yesterday morning I woke up and could not breath. I felt like something was lodged in the back of my throat. I began vomitting because of my gag reflex and went to the emergency room. As it turns out my uvula was swollen 5 times its normal size. The ER doc tells me this is a not so rare occurance with ace inhibiters.
