Very glad that you got such quick treatment. Lisinopril, which is an ACE med. sometimes will have that side effect, weird it took so long to show up.

I was on Altace years ago, another Ace med. and I got the wicked cough and some swelling in my ankles and calfs., so now I take an ARB. Hubby was on Lisinopril for awhile but also got leg swelling so he, like me is on Losartan.

Feel better and glad your doing ok.....JJ.....
