| 1 | High Blood Pressure | 10 mg made me so dizzy I was literally bouncing off walls. Doctor cut me down to 5mg. I have had a dry persistent cough with wheezing for 2 months. Can't sleep without cough medicine. Lots of muscle cramps. | Will notify my doctor that I am quitting this medication. | F | 62 | 2 months | 7/18/2006 | 1 | hypertension | I had severe fatique, fever 99-103,muscle cramps,nasal stuffiness,flu like symptoms. Postive ANA. Weight loss. | I took Prinivil for over 5 years. My symptoms didn't start until I had been on Prinivil for about 6-8 weeks. Making it impossible to connect my symptoms with the start of this medication. My brother in law is a nurse practioner, he suggested I change blood pressure meds. Within 3 days of stopping this drug I was improving. I now take Benacar, no side effects controls my BP and I feel great. I saw 5 different doctors of different specialities none of them suggested it may be my blood pressure medication, making me sick. | M | 50 | 5 years | 7/17/2006 | 3 | High blood pressure | "Fluttering" feeling in chest. No chest pain, but I felt like my heart was doing flip-flops. Terrible cough, which didn't help my asthma. | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 5/24/2006 | 3 | Blood Pressure | severe fatigue and drowsiness. Had to sleep it off. Only taking 5mg pill once a day. Decided to take pill whenever blood pressure got high. Since I faithfully take blood pressure readings 3X a day, decided that taking pill every couple of days, when pressure inched up, that it worked over several days, vice taking it every day. This minimizes the fatigue problem, since it affects me severly if I take the medicine every day. From reading the comments posted here, appears that drowsiness and fatigue are very common symptoms. | Reading the prinivil side affects literature, you would think that the side effect I have rarely happens, if at all. Reading the postings here and elsewhere, you realize that something does not add up in the literature. Is it just me thinking this?? | M | 51 | | 5/17/2006 | 1 | blood pressure | that embarrasing hacking dry cough almost turned me into a hermit | M | 42 | 28 days | 5/12/2006 | 3 | high blood pressure | Annoying constant tickle in throat. Nearly anything would set off a coughing fit. Woke up at least 1X a night coughing. | Did control blood pressure down nearly 30 pts | 53 | 21 days | 5/9/2006 | 3 | high blood pressure | Annoying constant tickle in throat. Nearly anything would set off a coughing fit. Woke up at least 1X a night coughing. | Did control blood pressure down nearly 30 pts | 53 | 21 days | 5/9/2006 | 3 | High blood pressure | None. | Doc has me on a low dose - started at 5 mg/day when BP averaged 160/105. This dosage level wasn't doing anything so he doubled after 3 months to 10 mg/day which brought BP down a little but not enough. Now at 20 mg/day and BP is down to 130/80. | M | 47 | 12 months | 3/23/2006 | 3 | High blood pressure | Coughing, choking on food, saliva, totally lost libido, pains in muscles, tired all the time. | While this drug did lower my b/p, I don't feel the side effects are worth it. Dr refuses to change me to anything else. I am currently taking 40mg (20 in the a.m., 20mg in the p.m.). Am also on Clonidine (10mg/2x day). | F | 50 | 6 months | 3/6/2006 | 4 | chf ,kidney dis,malig. hyper | The drug works, but side effects rough.cough,muscles tired out.terrible fatigue.less dose has helped great with the side effects.still tiny cough now and then | F | 43 | 2 years | 12/7/2005 | 1 | Kidney Protection, I'm Diabetic | Coughing to the point of vomiting. | My doctor did not inform me that this might happen. Once it did, I was diagnosed with asthma instead of identifying Lisinopril as the cuprit. As a result, I took unnecessary medications and suffered needlessly. I found out from an on line diabetes support group that the "Ace Cough" is as high as 25%. All that suffering for nothing. I didn't even have high blood pressure! | F | 39 | 1 years | 11/21/2005 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | Ticking dry cough, specialy at night. It's driving me crazy. It happens about 3 to 4 times a day and then as soon as I lay down to sleep. | I take Lisinopril | F | 41 | 9 months | 10/28/2005 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | cough, allergic reactions, dizziness, fatigue | F | 60 | 2 years | 10/7/2005 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Problem started with burning and aching feet and legs, abdominal pain, back pain, and extreme fatigue. Stopped taking and feel much better. Still take Propranolol and Diovan and monitor blood pressure regularly. Averages around 135/85 | burning and aching feet which progressively worsened during the course of the day. After awhile started having back pain and the aching and burning of the feet increased and moved further up the legs.Went to dr. who | M | 50 | 6 months | 8/25/2005 | 3 | HPB | Terrible hacking cough that only water and cough drops would stop. Cough was so bad that I would cough up phlegm. Too bad. It was WAY better than toprol! | I would go back on it but can't stand the cough | F | 44 | 12 days | 8/18/2005 | 1 | Hypertension | Dry tickle in throat with cough -- no amount of water, etc., could help ease this. Also had problems with nausea, and diarrhea, like a mild hang over all the time. | 10mg lowered the BP, but the side effects were unacceptable. Switched to Cozaar. Will report back on that one soon. | F | 36 | 1 months | 8/15/2005 | 5 | High blood pressure | None | F | 59 | 3 months | 7/18/2005 | 1 | High blood pressure | blood test showed increase in adverse kidney function | F | 74 | 11 days | 6/27/2005 | 5 | hypertension | none | amazing medicine for hypertension.

Cough gone but peak flow still below normal two weeks after discontinuing. | F | 63 | 28 days | 5/30/2005 |
