Topics:Allergic Reaction

had 3 1/2 parathyroids removed 4/29/09. BP med. Coreg was cut in half to 6.25MG/day then changed to Lisinopril 5MG/day because of low BP. Was told to double Calcium ACET 667MG from 2/day to 4/day because calcium was 5.7 on 6/04/09. saw Dr. 6/18/09 because throat swelled up and broke out with itchy lumps. mostly on throat and chin. Dr. took me off Lisinopril & said use hydrocortizone on throat. not much relief. Take 20MG Simvastatin/day and the Calcium 667MG - 4/day,also take Preservision 1/day. seems to get worse during night.

what do I do?
