I took my regular ace inhibitor and ate strawberries my face and lips swelled up. Which am I allergic to?

I have been eating strawberries sporadically my entire life but in the last 2 weeks have eaten 2 or 3 every day in a smoothie. Yesterday after I had taken my regular ace inhibitor at my regular time. I decided to eat about 6 of the berries just plain. 30 minutes later my lips started to swell. 2 hours later the bottom of my face looked like celebrity plastic surgery gone wrong!! Is it the berries or the pill? Also how long will it remain swollen?

1. i don't know how long it will stay swollen but the allergy may be in the combination.
2. There is no way to know for sure which it is. The only way to find out if it is one of those is to eliminate both for several days, thed add just one back and see what happens. Allergies can get worse over time each time you are exposed to the allergen.
