 1  High blood pressure Severe Angioedema and Hives after 6 months of taking this. I took this for about 6 months, until I woke up one morning with hives starting on my body. They spread through my entire body and then I experienced severe Angioedema with swollen lips, face, and throat. I ended up in the emergency room because of this drug. I am still experiencing hives despite discontinuing this drug as the drug has to run it's course. Because of this drug, I might now have other allergies that have developed due to such a severe reaction. I have had to stop ALL medications for a while. This drug is extremely dangerous and should be banned by the FDA. It has no black box warning either, so doctors continue to listen to drug reps and prescribe this death drug. There are class action lawsuits because of this drug and there has been many deaths. I am lucky to be alive and typing this review right now. If it were not for the grace of God and the emergency room doctors, I would most likely be dead now. F 50 6 months

 1  High blood pressure Dry/hacking cough, constant tickling in the throat, stomach cramps, swelling of the throat and back of tongue This drug nearly killed me and landed me in the ER not once, but TWICE. The first time, I had severe stomach/upper GI cramps that were similar to labor pains that would not subside after several hours. They ran test after test, and everything was ruled out. I mentioned that I had recently started taking Lisinopril, and it was waved off by the ER doc as a cause. It took two bags of morphine to stop the pain. They sent me home with vicodin and a diagnosis of "stomach flu", which was BS. One month later, I woke up barely able to breathe with the back of my throat and tongue completely swollen. Back to the ER we went. Again we mentioned the Lisinopril...and again, they never took it seriously. A benadryl drip and steroids stopped the swelling, and I threw this evil medicine away as soon as I got home. A visit with my PCP that week confirmed that I have a severe allergy to ACE inhibitors, which is the class of drugs Lisinopril belongs to. (Apparently, this is not that uncommon). The awful cough finally stopped after three weeks. BEWARE!!! F 39 2 months

 1  High BP Cough, cough, gagg, gagg, choke, fall asleep at random ( until the cough starts again! ) and gagg, gagg, gagg!!! Ok this has got to be the WORST ever! I have never coughed so hard or for so long, in my entire life! You don't know what a real cough is until you get some of this in your system. I would seriously like to see this drug banned from sale. WHO in the world would prescribe like this? It's a never ending, disabling, cough... 24/7 HORRIBLE. I'm off it now, and my Dr. says only 10% get this symptom. Guess what I don't believe it for a minute. My sister's been coughing like crazy for two years. Guess what she is on for High Blood pressure. Her Dr. never even picked up on this? And same exact story with her husband too, so that is three just in my family, alone. I have read literally 100's of the same exact story. It's definitely more than 10%. It's awful. I would never recommend this drug to anyone unless you want to blow out one of your lungs.... F 50 30 days
