So my Mother was placed on Lisinopril as a new addition for Hypertension earlier this year. She goes in to the hospital for a scheduled lung surgery which went well despite the circumstances. During surgery her tongue and airway become swollen (severally) and a 4 days stay turned in to 16 days. My Mom ended up with a Temporary Trach bcus the swelling in the airway was not completely gone. Allergist thinks it was an Aceinhibitor Angioedema and we have been after the fact advised to avoid Lisinopril or drugs in the pril....Please research for yourself and families and never be afraid to questions doctors ,they are people to and don't alwYs get things right!
