Scary...glad you are ok and on your way home soon.

Great news Hugh. Take care.

I can only imagine the scary situation. My buddy collapsed as well at home, and luckily his nephew was right there and saw him. It was a heart attack... Glad your wife was home then.

Hope you are back in better form soon.

If it goes far enough, people can die or receive an emergency surgical airway from angioedema...

Good to hear you're going to be okay, Hugh.

Gotta love those medication commercials. Footage of the happy patients leading a wonderful life, while the rapidly spoken warning says "in some cases, death..."

Which med was it?

This is fantastic news :)!


Just two days ago, I thought the ol' boy had croaked (well...for a few seconds I did) :)

Of course I keed....I've already read his response, so don't beat me up too bad....

Get yer butt home Marine....there's stuff to do....like retirement!

One of the really good guys on this board imo...best wishes Hugh, and don't do that to us no mo'.....SIR!!!

Damn!!!! Get back on your feet soldier!

Glad you're doing better Hugh. I had a similar reaction to penicillin when I was a kid.

Lisinopril for High blood pressure and it wasn't all that high back to normal now 121/86

Glad to hear you are getting better.

Get back to normal ASAP Hugh. I've been taking the same med for BP for a long time. Glad I've not experienced any negative effects. Like Paul I also had a similar reaction to penicillin as a kid. That was scary.

Bet it scared hell out of DR, stressful when your everlovin' spouse is trying to up and die on you like that.

Maybe you should meditate, or listen to Mozart or something for the hypertension. Is medical MJ legal in Pennsylvania? Probably not, damn Quakers

Wow, scary as he11. Glad to hear things are better!

Glad you're OK Hugh. Pretty scary how varied (and extreme) reactions to common meds can be.

Glad to hear you are on the mend.

Glad you are feeling better. Life is fragile and can go south quickly from a bad reaction to medicine. :(

Glad you are recovering.

See what happens when you retire! Now do it right, like the Vulcans say, Live long and prosper.

Happy to hear it was a short reaction to the med. Be well. :)

"Blood pressure med" and "tongue," so that's what they're calling it these days.

Glad you're feeling better! :)
