Question: I think I had an allergic reaction yester, I am on Lisinopril,Propanolol, generic Lexapro, for several years with problems. Also take OTC Alpha Lipoic Acid ,Gyn recommended Ophena. Vit D3 1000iu. Calcium, daily vitamins. It may be something I ate yesterday. I woke up with a swollen upper lip (I have reacted like this before).
Decided to eat lightly today (egg salad, deli maple turkey) so far.
Will Zertek help or anything else.?
CORRECTION TO ORIGINAL QUESTION. I Have had no problems with prescribed meds I'm taking and have been on them for several years. In the past I have had similar reaction to some acidic foods.
