| 1 | my husband , had high blood pressure | Acute kidney shut down, kidney failure sever dehydration due to that med, lisinopril!!! | Was any one giving a substitute for it, my husband was never given a high blood pressure med after..still has high blood pressure., and nothing to do.. | M | 42 | 3 years 60mg3x a d | 5/7/2015 | 1 | Face & chest flushing definitely; possibly: extreme anxiety/panic attacks, extreme exhaustion, muscle/joint pain, extreme GI problems, depression, intermittent shortness of breath/coughing | I KNOW this med caused me terrible face/neck flushing in the beginning... 1 of those side effects that was supposed to get better in a short time, & it did. Now 6 mths later I am having nearly CONSTANT flushing with severe panic attacks & diarrhea like I have NEVER known. All my labs are normal & I am now waiting results of an abd/pelvic CT scan... Next the Dr wants a brain MRI for potential hypothalmic/pituitary tumors ??? But after reading the reviews of Lisinopril here today..... Can't help but wonder if that drug is doing this to me! I guess time will tell because I'm certainly not taking anymore of it until it has time to completely leave my system & see what happens! | F | 40 | 6 months 10mg | 5/7/2015 | 1 | blood pressure | Coughing choking unable to swallow nausea vomiting upset stomach. Tinnitus fast heartbeat feel sick all day | Plan to stop this as soon as possible my bp goes from very low to very high on this medication | F | 69 | 3 months 40 mgs dal | 4/28/2015 | 5 | Blood Pressure | Dry cough, usually as I'm waking up in the morning.

I still feel it in my lymph nodes and my chest and throat. I feel 90 percent better after stopping it a week ago, despite my physician refusing to take me off of it, but I wonder if I will ever feel the same. I am petrified of taking medication now. I never in my life thought I could be so sick. The manufacturer should be sued. There should be a requirement that physicians MUST tell you just how severe and possible the side effects are. I have found many people just in the past few days who suffered horribly and online I have read of many who died. Long term and short term horror stories! | F | 50 | 63 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/16/2015 | 1 | blood pressure | back and leg pain memory loss panic attacks racing heart rate | do not take this drug! feel free to email me [email protected] would like to talk to other people that's had the same problems as me! who would have thought a blood pressure drug could cause so many problems! | M | 47 | 3 years 10 1X day | 4/14/2015 | 1 | HPB | tingling in the face and hands, severe fatigue, cough, nasal drip. | I thought I was dying and still feel the effect of this medicine.

A few months ago I went to the ER for the dizziness and the doc there prescribed Norvasc 2.5 mg and the next day when I took it my BP spided to 198/125, went to ER again, they did EKG, X-ray on heart, blood work, CT on head and everything came back normal. I hate this drug and want off of it and going to doc to get something else. If anyone has any suggestions on any other meds please send them to me. | F | 51 | 7 months 5 mg 1X day | 3/28/2015 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Severe chest squeezing and pain light cough Nausea | Felt terrible with the adverse symptoms coming 3 or 4 times a day in waves | M | 61 | 40 days 10 mg 1X day | 3/19/2015 | 1 | High Blood pressure | After taking for a couple months I developed a bad dry cough that would continue day and night, informed my DR who denied this drug can cause that problem, also got a lot of bad muscle cramps and it killed my sex drive.. Doctor wouldn't listen, weened myself off slowly by cutting the pills in half, 2 weeks after stopping all my symptoms have vanished.. | M | 36 | 7 months 20 mg | 3/19/2015 | 1 | hbp | severe left hand tremors | anxiety & Hand Tremors | M | 62 | 3 months 10 1X day | 3/14/2015 | 4 | blood pressure | Coughing dry mouth. | I feel better except for the cough. | F | 63 | 3 years 10mg | 3/8/2015 | 1 | Hypertension | My doctor warned me about the possibility of developing a chronic cough when I first started this medication. A few months later I started getting hives on my hands and occasionally on my face. I thought I had developed an allergy to my dog since it seemed tied to me letting him in. Fast forward a year and a half later and I ended up in the ER with severe angioedema of throat and tongue. I could not swallow or talk. I had been suffering from a severe cold so had been sleeping on the couch when I woke up and decided to go to bed. Fortunately I started coughing and realized I couldn't swallow. The ER doctor stated had I laid back down that I probably would not have survived. She said it was a very rare side affect. My pharmacist also said I was the only client he had that has had this kind of reaction. I do know several people who took this medication and developed the chronic cough. Unfortunately for one,her physician didn't know about that side effect and she had spent about $3000 dollars on various heart and lung tests (since she was a smoker) to determine the cause. She called her physician and stopped taking the medicine the next day...and her cough went away. | Any medication can have serious side effects. Because of my experience,I have lots of conversations with my pharmacist before taking anything and I only take one new medication at a time, including antibiotics. | F | 55 | 2 years 50 mcg | 2/21/2015 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Low red cell count when I was put on 10mg after open heart surgery. My dose was increased to 20mg. for high blood pressure and my red cell counts went down an identical amount from the initial dose. After 2 months of not taking any lisinopril my red cell counts returned to normal. My Oncologist said it had caused Hemollytic Anemia--an alegric reaction to the Lisinopril. Ill never take another ace inhibitor again | Very bad drug with terrible delibitating side effects. I noticed some people reported tiredness after taking it. Those people should have a blood test to measure red cell count measures | M | 70 | 1 years 20 mg 1X day | 2/20/2015 | 3 | high blood pressure | Hair loss fatigue hot flashes constant bleeding | F | 30 | 2 months 20 MG | 2/15/2015 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | This drug made me very ill.Dizziness,insomnia,coudnt eat .Just felt really bad. | You would be wise to get off this drug.It is not safe.Ive done a lot of reading and research since.If your BP isn't extremely high and you are in otherwise good health you probably don't need these drugs.All of them have nasty side effects Check out The Cochrane Collaboration data related to blood pressure.You cant trust your doctor .You have to look out for yourself | M | 57 | 6 weeks 20mg 1X day | 1/31/2015 | 1 | I was taking lisinopril for high bp | I had been taking lisinopril-HCTZ 20/12.5 for about a year. This medication gave me left sided facial tremors that lasted all day and night. I could not control them and it made me very introverted because whenever I would talk to someone face to face, they would always ask what is wrong with my eye. My face contracted on the left side and made my eye close and twitch uncontrollably. Sometimes I felt as if I were having a stroke. I had no control over these tremors and contractions. Also, my fingers would go numb. It started with one fingertip and progressively spread to all ten fingers. I developed constant floaters in my eyesight as well. I had heart palpitations as well. I ran out of the med one day and could not get a refill. Within a couple of days the facial tremors stopped and the numbing in my fingers lessened significantly. Not one palpitation after a few days of not taking the medicine. | F | 43 | 1 years 20/12.5 | 1/28/2015 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Just left the ER every day its something new. I now NEED a med my pressure was 185/115 and I was having symptoms I never knew it was B/P. I absolutely hate this med which is why my b/p was so high I refused to take it. I tried others and they were just as bad or worse. It begain with the dry hacking cough the first time. I did not experience it this time BUT day one racing heart, anxiety, nausea and irregular heart beats. I thought with time it would go away, day 2 migraine with aura and uneven heart beats b/p lower but still high 160/95 blurring vision and no concentration or memory at all scary did I have Alzheimer's ? didn't take the PPI in the morning and was better no headach BUT when walking in a store my chest began pounding and for the first time in my life I had such shortness of breath I had to stop and hold on to something, that's scary last time I had that feeling I had internal bleeding. NOT normal NOT good, I didn't have this before this med. Went to the ER they did an EK | I am getting just as frustrated at my docs, why is my b/p going so high? They say they don't know. I have been given now 4 meds and they all make me feel awful some even worse then this but they blame me. Don't blame me no one wants to walk around with their head in a vice seeing spots and having migraine with aura. What is the solution I can't take these things I feel like they are going to give me a heart attack or my throat will close next. I live alone and its quite scary. I can't find a med that I can take and the b/p is killing me. I am really at a loss. I also itched constantly and put on weight almost immediately and don't really eat, with a metallic taste and the feeling of nausea I don't know why.. I dislike this med and really am getting scared dammed if I do and dammed if I don't. | F | 62 | 6 days 20 1X day | 1/20/2015 |
