 3  slight high blood pressure Tired, sinus infections, coughing, throat swollen - chest hurt, never thought it was the BP meds. dry cough started right away....weight gain also - thought it was new allergies? I have been on and off lisinopril for a couple years. Now pressure to stay on it, but dose is small 2.5mg - BP will go too low. I think brand name worked ok, the generic is causing me all these problems....not positive on that one. will try to switch now F 67

Extreme joint discomfort to bilateral knee, lower back back & leg pain resembling what you would feel after a good workout but I didn't workout. Had to stop it! I'm still in shock one dose made me feel this way. M 46 1 days

 1  high blood pressure I started getting post nasal drip very slowly over this time frame and within this month I have missed so much work Because of the constant gagging and coughing that I may lose my job. I haven't been able to sleep more than one hour at a time because that's about the time that the cough drop dissolves and I wake up gagging extremely bad. I live on cough drops which upset my stomach really bad. I plan events around whether it's too embarrassing to be seen having and coughing or not. My whole family had been turned up side down. I have even considered suicide to stop this insanity. ... And I JUST FOUND OUT THAT LISINOPRIL CAUSES THIS! IM FURIOUS! This medication sucks. F 50 10 months

 1  Hypertension OK when I was young, but just recently in the past 3 years (47 to 50) I felt listless, tired. Had to force myself to exercise (run cycle) Severe coughing. Shortness of breath when exercising. Weight gain because I couldn't make use of my calorie intake for exercise. If I backed off my calorie intake, my tiredness and lethargy got even worse. Worse drug on the planet _old and out of date. Doctors who still prescribe this antiquated drug should be taken to court for negligence. M 20 years

 3  High blood pressure My head tends to go down, as if someone was slightly pushing my head down, with my chin to my neck. That's been the most bothersome side effects, but it doesn't seem to be common. I have no other side effects, besides the head and neck thing. F 32 2 weeks

 1  yes prescribed as having 3 chest infections one after the other difficulty in breathing especially at night could seem to get enough air in to inflate lungs properly right nostril blood in mucus all the time constantly felt like i wanted to clear something from my chest if i did it was white and very sticky mucus i believe the problem was nasal drip going down my throat and causing infection in chest and lungs had a couple of different antibiotics prescribed to me made a slight improvement for a couple of days then back to normal this drug was prescribed in conjunction with felodopine for blood pressure one doctor told me it was more likely the felodopine was causing the cough i stopped taking the lisinopril by my own decision and started to feel better within a couple of days blood pressure rose but that was better than constant shortness of breath and no sleep cough continued a bit longer so dumped the felodopine as well and that got better again within a couple of days seemed ok with sorry to say for the majority of people i have seen on the net it cause more problems than it cures there are plenty of other drugs of the same group to try i believe i guess some people dont settle with ace inhibators but this is the worst of the lot in my opinion probably the cheapest to make and therefore the most used for economic reasons M 54 2 years

 1  high blood pressure While taking Lisinopril I started having a slight rash on my hands shortly after being prescribed the medicine. Shortly after that I developed severe gi tract issues... mucus and blood in my stool, cramping, extreme stomach aches with naseau, pain in my lower stomach and rib cage, and bloating. Go to the hospital and they notice my intestines are swollen. Then I have problems with my esophagus swelling and having spasms. At this point I've been on this medication for a year and a half, finally I read something online about these rare allergic reactions from lisinopril. I do a experiement and stop taking the medication. Instantly feel much better... fearing not taking something for my blood pressure I take a half of a pill the next day and two hour later I break out in hives. I've spent a extreme amount of money on hospital bills because of this medication not to mention it has caused me severe medical issues and stress. These doctors need to know what kind of severe side effects this stuff can cause. I was just lucky enough to read it on the web. If I hadn't who knows what could of happened. While taking this medicine do yourself a favor and study up on the possible severe side effects of this stuff. If I had it may have saved me a year and a half of suffering and spending a ton of money on doctors who didn't even know these side effects exsisted. M 32 1 months
