Angioedema is swelling that mostly involves the soft tissue of the eyelids, nose, throat, tongue, mouth, or genitals. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors induced angioedema is a rare but potentially dangerous adverse effect. A 52-year-old female patient attended the emergency department with the history swelling over the eyes and face past 3 days and having difficulty in swallowing of the food. Her medical history revealed that the patient was recently diagnosed with hypertension and was on the combination of Telmisartan and Amlodipin (40 mg + 5 mg). The medicines were immediately stopped and the patient was managed symptomatically for angioedema. The symptoms declined after 5 days of discontinuity of medicines. The case report can be considered as rare adverse effects of the Telmisartan. Angiotensin receptor blockers induced angioedema is a rare presentation.
血管性水肿是一种肿胀，主要累及眼睑、鼻子、喉咙、舌头、口腔或生殖器的软组织。血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂诱发的血管性水肿是一种罕见但潜在危险的不良反应。一名52岁女性患者因过去3天眼睛和面部肿胀且吞咽食物困难前往急诊科就诊。她的病史显示该患者最近被诊断为高血压，正在服用替米沙坦和氨氯地平（40毫克 + 5毫克）的组合药物。立即停用这些药物，并对该患者的血管性水肿进行对症治疗。停药5天后症状减轻。该病例报告可被视为替米沙坦罕见的不良反应。血管紧张素受体阻滞剂诱发的血管性水肿是一种罕见的表现。
