Question: I take 10mg Lisinopril daily. I am visiting my sister and am away from home. I have type II diabetes and diagnosed with atrial flutter.

For the last 3 days my left leg below the knee got very itchy, became quite red-inflamed looking and swelled significantly accompanied with moderate deeper than surface, somewhat burning pain. I applied 1% hydrocortisone cream the last two days. Very slight improvement might have occurred. Right leg and foot are normal.

I read in a Health-line article about Lisinopril that Lisinopril can cause swelling of the legs (and other body parts) and hives and that this could be cause for serious concern. On such skimpy "data" do you have any advice to offer?
