Last year in March I was put on Lisinopril for elevated blood pressure. Two months into taking this medication, I started having swelling of lymph nodes in my under arms. Mamogram and chest x-ray were done to rule out lymphoma. I suspected the lisinopril and upon stopping the medication swelling of lymph nodes (slowly) subsided. This year my mother who is 88, was put on Lisinopril for congestive heart failure, again two to three months into taking the Lisinopril she developed what seems to be medically induced lupus erythematosus (rash) on her wrist. She was concerned that it might be a cancerous as the eruptions were so unsightly. Her family Dr. referred her to a surgeon, and mother has since underwent surgery with general anesthesia to remove two of these eruptions that were not cancerous thankfully. A co -worker was on Lisinopril also for blood pressure and suddenly developed terrible swelling of the lips, which would subside and then return. His Dr. referred him to an allergist. These episodes were not only scary but resulted in time lost from work and unnecessary costs. I would be interested to know if anyone has experienced the severe rash or swelling of the lymph nodes.
