| 1 | high blood pressure | I experienced nausea until the point I felt like throwing up, but never did. Then during the day I felt weird I guess the dizziness sunk in. I got home from work decide to rest and suddenly I had a major panic attack. The 2nd worst ever. Thought my heart was going to explode. I heart was racing, chest pounding (the works). Then I bypassed the panic attacks continued my night to watch tv. I continuosly felt dizzy. Went to the bathroom fainted and passed out for about 5-10 mins as I can remember. My roomate came and got me, then took me to the bedroom where I then went to sleep. Woke up the next morning still feeling dizzy and nauseous. Its the weekend so can't reach the doc. | F | 22 | 1 days 10 mg | 8/31/2013 | 1 | high blood pressure | Cough headaches frequent urination. Can't sleep. Stomach ache. Diarrhea. Muscle aches. Jaw hurts when eating. Depression. Heart is racing. Been in the er for fast heart beat after day 5. I wish I knew about the side effects before starting this med. I stopped taking it yesterday. I just want to feel better. I want my life back. | F | 48 | 7 days 20 mg | 8/24/2013 | 1 | high blood pressure | Started with dizziness after standing and fatigue, developed into dry cough and sore throat and lungs. now its terrible coughing with lots of mucus. i have been off for a few months but no change yet. | I love how nobody was told about the horrible side affects by their doctors. I had no idea or I never would have taken this poison. | M | 48 | 3 years 10 mg 1X day | 8/12/2013 | 1 | elevated blood pressure | Was put on vasotec5 mg., worked very well, over few side effects. Went back to my hometown, needed a new script, my Dr. insisted I should take lisiniopril, a more "up to date" drug! He stated vasotec was an old drug, but the Dr. who first prescribed it told me that, ( he was only about 40) but thought it would be a good drug for me. Lisinopril, terrible. Racing heart, felt like my heart was, going to come out of my chest, weight on chest, short of breath, couldn't' t catch my breath, nervousness, and finally after 3 weeks started with bruises on my calves..both legs. My Dr. Put me back on Vasotec, he said he does not have 1 patient on this drug, and that my side effects were unusual. I am a nurse, I read the long printouts. Very happy on 2.5 mg of Vasotec, b/p good and no side effects. | F | 66 | 1 months 10 mg | 7/15/2013 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects. Lowers my pressure to an average 126/88. Never experienced side effects that most people here say they do. | M | 58 | 10 years 10 mg 1X day | 7/10/2013 | 3 | HBP | Went to the Dr. and my Bp was 150/94. He put me on this medicine. It took me a week to finally take it. First day, I slept for three hours, which is not the norm for me. My thinking process seems distorted, and I really would rather be left alone. I have felt so tight in the neck and shoulder area, upset stomach, mild cough, no energy, hot flashes, depressed, heaviness in my limbs, anxiety, and just out of sorts. | Although, this has brought my BP down to below normal. I called the pharmacy, and they said, that I could stop taking it tomorrow morning and it would not hurt me. That is what I think I am going to do, especially after reading the effects of this drug in long term. I can't deal with the side effects. I will try exercise and the Joel Furhman diet, which, I encourage everyone to read. The book is called EAT TO LIVE. | F | 45 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 7/4/2013 | 1 | Lower blood pressure | I used to be in amazing health and worked out about 5 days a week. A genetic problem causes my BP to be high. I started in Lisinopril about1.5 years ago. At first I was ok. During the last month I have noticed a lot of changes in my body. I feel exhausted always, even after just waking In the morning. I have a horrible cough with a mucus. My muscle ache and have swelling in my legs. I cannot stand in the sun for more than 5 minutes as I feel like I will Pass out. The feeling lasts for hours. Honestly there is no benefit to this medicine of the side effects are so severe. | M | 53 | 1 days 20MG | 7/1/2013 | 1 | Hypertension | Severe cough, hoarseness, dry mouth. Severe right side abdominal pain. | After about three weeks on lisinopril I developed a cough and hoarseness in the throat so bad, I could barely carry on a conversation without coughing. About the same time, I had two episodes of SEVERE abdominal pain in the location over my right kidney. I've read that lisinopril affects kidney function in various ways. My doctor had me stop taking it. In a few days, the cough started to get better, and no more pains. The only kidney problem I ever had was one kidney stone, and the pain I had from taking this was about as bad. I wonder now if it can somehow cause the release of small kidney stones. I would recommend against taking lisinopril. | M | 50 | 30 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/22/2013 | 3 | high blood pressure | exhausted...tired muscles, like my limbs are heavy and effort to move, dry mouth, dizziness, brain fog for 1st few hours after taking. chronic headaches. Is working to lower BP but i dont feel like myself, too tired to do anything | F | 37 | 6 weeks 20mg | 6/19/2013 | 1 | high BP | A couple of minutes after first dose, my ears and nose clogged up. I called the pharmacy and was told to go to the ER. But I didn't. Nausea during both the day and night hours -- difficult to sleep. Bad taste in mouth. VERY bad headache on fourth day., with a low-grade fever. | I had switched from Carvedilol because it gave me diarrhea. After four days on Lisinopril I called the cardiologist and said I wasn't taking it anymore. He told me to stop reading about the bad effects (!!!) and said I probably had the flu and should see my PC doc. I never get sick, nor do I ever have headaches! I asked to be switched back to the first one -- which was a week ago -- and since that time I've weaned myself off the whole lot. Carvedilol, among other effects, is said to be linked to Diabetes 2, for starters. No thanks! Have done a lot of Net sleuthing about these deadly drugs, and am thoroughly disgusted -- want nothing more to do with them. I hoped to get through life without taking anything, and up until March of this year I was successful. There are better ways to control our so-called high BP -- diet, slow breathing, etc. Now that I'm off the meds, I feel great again! Big Pharma sucks, and the docs are merely in cahoots with them. Avoid them, if possible. | F | 75 | 4 days 5 mg 2X day | 6/18/2013 | 3 | high blood pressure | runny nose, real bad, embarrassing. Dry cough. | It stopped working as good as it was so my Doc added Metoprolol to the mix, now BP is great but I feel like crap. But it is a cheap drug that works, and I am not rich. | M | 57 | 5 years 20mg 1X day | 6/3/2013 | 1 | HBP | Dry cough, but helped HBP | The dry cough continued to get worse until it caused my voice box to become so irritated that it swole up until I could not eat or drink. Spent 3 days in the hospital. | M | 60 | 1 years 30 1X day | 6/2/2013 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | M | 29 | 30 days 10MG 1X day | 5/8/2013 | 3 | blood pressure | dizziness after taking, very low BP readings in a.m. | Acting on instinct, I cut the 10MG pill in half and take just 5MG at night --- and even with reduced dosage, my BP in the morning is quite low (112/64 for example). It does rise to normal levels later in the day, fortunately. In the meantime I feel tired and a little disoriented. But if it takes the BP down to normal levels I'll stay on it unless unacceptable side effects occur. Amazed at how fast acting this stuff is; was initially prescribed hydrochlorothiazide and it was awful, awful stuff. So am hoping the Lisinopril actually works with minimal problems. | F | 72 | 5 days 10MG 1X day | 4/16/2013 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | NONE | I can't believe people are reporting all these bizarre side effects -- I've taken this drug for 20 years without a single side effect. It's a fabulous medication. | F | 60 | 20 years 20 mg 1X day | 3/31/2013 | 1 | Hypertension | Increased blood pressure, headaches, itchy eyes | F | 38 | 4 days 20 mg | 3/24/2013 | 5 | High blood pressure and PKD | I have experienced dizziness, joint pain, depression, and so forth over the years and depending on my prescription. Keeping myself hydrated lessens or eliminates the symptoms. | Am involved in a PKD kidney study which requires I keep my BP very low....hence the 30 mg instead of 10. Am also taking 80mg Telmisartan or placebo (do not know which). Have found that the side effects lessen (or disappear) if I keep myself hydrated. I take the pills in the morning with a full glass of water and continue drinking water throughout the day (not too much water but just enough to keep the urine clear). At night I drink a full glass of water before bed, get up in the night, void, and drink another glass of water before going back to bed. This has been recommended by my nephrologist. It sounds like a pain but it is worth the effort. I am a much happier and productive person if I follow the hydration schedule. Always tell your pharmacist if ALL of your medications before taking Lisinopril. Also it is NOT recommended for women who are planning on becoming pregnant. If you do become pregnant, stop the medication and contact your doctor immediately. | F | 43 | 10 years 30 MG 1X day | 3/11/2013 | 1 | for high blood pressure | I had asthma most of my life. After starting lisinopril I started getting more frequent asthma attacks, I started throwing up huge amounts of thick mucus and food. I eventually had full blown anaphylatix shock. I was in the hospital for one week. They had to put me on a ventilator for three days. My IgE levels were 1,795. My mast cells 80. I have not been able to go back to work. My potassium levels and calcium levels in my blood went through the roof. I am now seeing several Dr.s to get my system back on track.... And of course I am not taking lisinopril | Linsinopril is a dangerous new drug designed to make the drug companies rich and people very sick.... I am waiting for more blood work to come back before I take action. I took ateninol for 20 years and never had a problem....My new doctor said " Why are you taking ateninol, that is an old fashion drug. There is this great new high tech designer drug called lisinopril I would like you to take instead". I said OK. Little did I know that in less then 6 month I would literally be at death doors. When the paramedics got to me I was told I had no blood pressure and was turning blue...... | F | 60 | 6 months 5mg 1X day | 2/20/2013 | 2 | High BP | Depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, dry cough, tachycardia, felt itchy from the inside out, swimming head, poor digestion, thinning hair. | This is the cheapest first line defense BP med in America, and thus is most prescribed to the poor (uninsured or underinsured). It is brazilian snake venom and if you are in tune with your body, you will FEEL snake bitten. I was on very low dose but I only weigh 95 pounds. This stuff hit me like a mack truck. The worst was the depression, almost suicidal in nature, the anxiety: worry about EVERYTHING. Not worth your peace of mind to have well controlled BP in my book. | F | 61 | 30 days 5 mg 1X day | 1/15/2013 | 3 | Pre Hypertension | Brought my spastic vein/Reynauds condition under control, however I have a coughing fit that gets me out of bed every night. I will try something else this year. | In my situation, no amount of exercise will help. I will have to take a low dosage of something the rest of my life. | M | 33 | 1 years 10 1X day | 1/14/2013 |
