 1  High Blood Pressure Severe upper abdominal discomfort, dizziness, burning & stinging pain in chest and arch's of feet, gas pressure. Excessively low BP at night 90/60. Previously took metoporol, and switched to Lisinopril 10 mg, cut dose in 1/2 to 5 mg, and experienced same awful side effects. Dr is switching me to Losartan, hoping for better results as my BP was only borderline high 135/90. This medicine is AWFUL! M 44 2 months

 2  high BP 161/102 I went to doctor with a blood pressure reading of 161/102 she put me on lisinopril-hctz 10mg. My BP dropped within 30 minutes to 83/60 after just 1 dose.It has been 3 days now and my BP hovers between 83/60 and 111/63. I'm now a bit concerned because my BP is usually 134/90 (sometimes higher) and this just seems a bit low. Is this normal after just 1 dose??? F 55 1 days

 1  Made Me So Very Sick.... I had sudden onset high blood pressure and was prescribed lisinopril. I took it before bed and, 4 hours later, I had my first true migraine headache, so bad it woke me up. I threw up. I could hardly see straight. My head hurt SO BAD--AND it hadn't been long enough to lower my BP (as sick as I was, it shot up to dangerous levels). I never took the 2nd pill. My doc tried Valsartan, and that worked for me.

 3  High blood pressure Neuropathy in both feet, insomnia, diarrhea and headaches. This medication was the only thing that would lower my blood pressure. The side effects will probably last the rest of my life after being on it so long. I finally decided I was sick of being over weight and on pills. I have lost over 40 lbs and bp went too low so Dr took me off the pills cold turkey. I am hopeful that I can get the feeling in my feet back and energy back would be great. I am 5 days off and so tired and still having headache and numbness but my diarrhea that I had for years and year is gone. I use to take anti diarrhea pills almost daily. I wish I had of know what it would do before I took it. F 43 10 years

 1  Pre hypertension moderately high BP Pounding Headache since day 2, profuse sweating out of the blue, dizziness, nausea, weakness, tiredness, shortness of breath, no appetite, generally just feel awful. Cut dose in half on docs approval and no difference. Stopped all together on my own approval 5 days ago and still no difference. Maybe even worse. Back to doc sept. 1. I'll NEVER take this and probably no other. Bad side effects far outweigh risk as far as I'm concerned. This is no way to exist, let alone live. M 55 40 days
