Hello all.
Still taking a break, but I thought I'd hop on to regale you with my latest health travesty.
Last night I accidentally bit my tongue. No biggie, right? Wrong. Two hours later my tongue was swollen. Two hours after that I tell my wife to take me to the ER. By then everything in my mouth was swollen. Then I was admitted to a room for observation. They think that my Lisinopril is what caused the swelling from the bite. So, change of BP meds, and I'm going home now after dinner.

YIKES glad you are ok!
@KazzyH I was really worried that it would block off my airways.
Have you been on it long ( I just picked my rx up - same med ) going to be super careful not to bite my tongue. I'm freaked out for you!
@KazzyH Five years.
I've been on it for years and we always discuss possibilities. I wish I could get away with nothing.
@KazzyH But yes, you should definitely talk to your doctor about the risks of ace inhibitors and angioedema.
