Description
Should Black people avoid lisinopril? Someone online said yes after reading the lisinopril side effects, so let’s get this right. The scary one is angioedema, swelling of the lips and tongue that can strike on day one or even after years on the medication. It isn’t histamine driven, so no hives, no itching, and Benadryl won’t touch it. Black patients are three to five times more likely to get it. Still, the risk runs only 0.1% to 0.7%, while lisinopril helps treat early kidney disease, helps heart failure, and helps people survive after a heart attack. What are the side effects of lisinopril, and who should actually worry? I break it down in this video. Managing high blood pressure? Share this, then talk with a doctor you trust.
