are hives caused by blood pressure medicines
Fresh foods cause hives more often than cooked foods. Certain food additives and preservatives may also be to blame. Drugs that can cause hives and angioedema include aspirin and other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), high blood pressure medications (such as ACE inhibitors), and painkillers such as codeine. Chronic urticaria and/or angioedema are hives or swelling that lasts more than 6 weeks.
