| 4 | Elevated Blood Pressure | It brought my pressure down to normal. However, when I first started taking it, I had an allergic reaction to an insect bite that made my hand and face swell. Biggest problem is little nicks and scrapes tend to crust over vice scabbing. Have to keep sites covered with neosporene until they fully heal. | M | 38 | 8 months | 1/17/2006 | 4 | high blood pressure | I developed a strange cough that would not go away. | It worked great for me until I got the cough and had to switch meds. | F | 41 | 2 months | 1/13/2006 | 2 | Hypertension | headaches, insomnia, poor libido, dizziness, brochospasms and deep muscle cramping | The orthostatic hypotension had me almost fainting at work. I bounced back and forth between generic and brand specific. DIdn't have it as bad with "Prinivil" -- I stopped because of bronchospasms and fatigue which I didn't even realize until I researched the med myself. Also I gained weight. NOTE WELL -- they don't tell you that lisinopril will skew your potassium levels much like some diuretics. Check it out. | M | 43 | 2 years | 1/5/2006 | 1 | HP | Incredible unrelenting dry cough.
