Hi and thanks for the query,
It is not unusual to experience acute reactions as such from drugs. I ma afraid it might be difficult to directly consecrate the symptoms to a particular drug,. This could be possible in case the Lisinopril was the only recently intriduced drug before the incident, and also if you had never experienced such symptoms before.
A case history and complete physical examination could be necessary. I suggest you book an appointment and get advice from an internist. Kind regards.
