AB This  25-year-old  black  woman  presents  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  2  hours  after  the  onset  of  lip  swelling  that  has  progressed  to  difficulty  in  breathing.  With  the  exception  of  newly  diagnosed  hypertension,  she  is  otherwise  well.  Last  week,  her  primary  care  physician  began  a  course  of  a  new  antihypertensive  medication,  lisinopril.  She  has  had  no  history  of  swelling  and  there  is  no  family  history  of  disorders  characterized  by  swelling.  Her  vital  signs  are  temperature  37°C,  heart  rate  (HR)  100  beats  per  minute  (bpm),  respiratory  rate  (RR)  22  breaths  per  minute,  blood  pressure  (bp)  165/90  mm  Hg,  and  SpO2  is  99%  on  2  L·min−1  of  O2  by  nasal  prongs.
