I have been on Lisinopril for over 30 days. I started getting severe pelvic pain and a routine UA indicated I had an infection as well as blood and protein present. Dr. was worried about bladder cancer. Took sulfur based drugs for the infection and subsequent UA was clear but severe pain continued. Scheduled PAP and Dr. ordered ultrasound. He indicated that uterus was pushed over slightly to one side and indicated it could be fibro cysts. Ultrasound was normal. Dr. ordered CT scan, normal. Dr. wants to send me to gastroenterologist. It takes three 7.5 mg. Vicoprophen for pain to abate for 4 hours. I sat up all night researching and came up with isolated viseral angioedema a very rare and seldom known side affect of ACE inhibitors (Lisinopril). It affects the small bowel. Would assume that small bowel was so swollen that it was pressing on all other abdominal organs, especially bladder, causing pain. Had diarrhea at first then constipation. When looking up isolated viseral angioedema it says that gastroenterologist usually do lap surgeries looking for cause of pain before they figure out that it is the Lisinopril. Immediately quit taking and 3 days later almost pain free. If you have abdominal pain and are taking Lisinopril, cease before undergoing any further testing. It cost me $2,000 to figure it out on my own.
