Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if BP medication cause angioedema . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like rash , hives , fluid retention , hormonal changes , kidney failure , anaphylaxis , too much salty food , blood pressure medications or congestive heart failure . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay to rule out more serious condition . Doctor may order certain tests like ECG , TMT , complete blood profile along with chest x-ray . Doctor may refer you to dermatologist for skin or allergy problem , who may give adrenaline short or to nephrologist for kidney problem .
