Smother symptoms and conditions

I woke up this morning after taking Lisinopril for years and my tongue started swelling and continued to swell. My doctor sent me to the emergency room where they discovered that this was a possible side effect of the drug along with swelling of the entire face and throat - enough that it could cause you to smother to death. He said the side effects could just suddenly flare up as long as seven years after you stop taking this medicine. They put me on an IV for three hours to reduce the swelling and counteract the effect. It brought it almost back to normal but I have to take medication at home for a week to completely return to normal. I was told to never, ever take this stuff again. It makes a person wonder!

I have had numerous side effects from Yasmin that seem to coincide with many that I've read here, but a few different ones as well. My anxiety level has been over the top and I have been having panic attacks related to really bizarre things such as feeling like the rings on my fingers are too tight and choking me. I felt the same thing when having an armband place on me while attending a carnival. It felt tight and constrictive and I felt an overwhelming flood of panic, as it seemed to make me smother, until I removed it. I feel extremely bloated and my back aches constantly. I have been sleepless for the most part and when I do sleep, suffer crazy and bizarre dreams. I have had a sore area on the back of my tongue for about 2 weeks. It feels as though my tastebuds have been scrubbed with sandpaper. I am also having problems with facial hair growth and have had stomach pain. I was on Ortho Novum 7-7-7 for 5 years and loved it. I had no side effects from it and my weight remained stable unlike with other pills I've experienced. The doctor took me off of them and refuses to put me back on because she says they are too high estrogen of a pill for someone my age (I'm 33) and since I am a smoker. Any advice?

Terrible tremors.
Ticking in my head.
Trunk shaking.
Breath great, but rather smother!!
