[QUOTE="kjcmjc, post: 207058, member: 384"] I was on Lisinopril 10mg a day for about 7 years. Last year one night I ate a bag of Smart Pop popcorn and after eating the bag my throat started to get itchy. I thought I must have a husk stuck in my throat from the popcorn. After about 3 hours my throat started swelling up, I looked in the mirror and my uvula was really big. My wife looked at it and said you better get to the ER ( this was 11:30 PM ) just in case my throat closes up. By the time I got to the hospital ( I drove myself ) I could hardly talk because my uvula was really big. They immediately put me in ICU afraid that I was going to have a breathing tube put in my throat. They started me on a IV of benadryl and I think a steroid. By the next morning I was feeling better. Uvula was going down. A ENT specialist came in and said I had a alleric reaction to lisinopril. I said I have been on it for 7 years with no problems, he said he had a patient that was on it close to 30 years and all of a sudden he had a allergic reation. He also said you dont know how many times I get called in the middle of the night with people having allergic reactions in the throat or neck with lisinopril from the ER department. They immediately switched my BP med to Valsartan which I have been on now for about a year with no problams. I am not saying Lisinopril is a bad drug for everybody but just be aware that it can cause allergic reactions for SOME people even after many years. Good Luck [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
