 1  High Blood Pressure I started having severe sinus problems such as ear popping, ringing in ear, and stuffy nose. It has progress since than to dizzy spells, brain fog, TIA symptoms, restless legs, severe anxiety, achy muscles, and an unwell feeling. These symptoms came and went for a year and a half. I finally figured out that all my symptoms have been from this medication. I have only been off of it 5 days and feel a little better. The aches in my muscles are really bad still. Please someone email me back to let me know how long these symptoms will last and if you have experienced anything like this. Insomnia, numbness and tingling, burning sensation, dizziness, anxiety, F 48 2 years

 1  High Blood Pressure This drug did great for me lowering BP Heres the deal this drug gave me issues with going to the bathroom. It seems to have aggravated my colon. The other problem that hasn't been addressed in this forum is the issue that this drug effects your inner ear. BADLY! after a week of taking it I start having major ringing in my ears! I never had Tinnitus in my life. OMG its so horrible. I immediately stopped taking it. The ringing really really stinks. EEEEEEEE all day long is horrible. I hope this goes away. If it doesnt then I am going to have to learn to live with it. That is really horrible that drugs like this are allowed to be out there that can harm people so badly! M 51 7 days

She stopped taking it and has never been the same. She is extra tired, and still hasn't gotten her strength back. She use to be super active. It's pure poison. Snake venom from India.

 4  HBP Cough on occasion At first the medication gave me a cough but that subsided with time. It worked for me, but it varies from person to person. My wife took it she coughed a lot more and had to change medications. A word of advice, with this medication, it helps to do cardio as well as stay hydrated, doing this helps reduce the cough. I find that walking or jogging will help eliminate the cough as you will expel the medication through your lungs during exercise. I am on the lowest dose and took my BP from 200/100 to 110's/low 70's most days. I find if I take in more salt my BP will be higher. M 56 1 years

 1  HBP I had dizziness, blackouts, my brain felt like it was not getting oxygen, paranoia, panic, fatigue, brain swelling, inability to concentrate or even function. This drug has ruined my life. It has taken away my happiness and replaced it with gloom and oppression. I took this drug five years ago, and I continually keep up with reading on this site. I have been off it for almost five years, and the question I see is how long does it take to feel normal again. I want to tell all of you that my head has NEVER been the same as it was. Think twice before starting it, and if on it, be aware of ANY odd reactions and get off it immediately. If I had quit after my first blackout, I may have recovered. This drug has helped many, but it has also destroyed many. It isn't worth the risk. F 66 3.5 months

 1  Blood pressure I reluctantly started taking this drug immediately I started having side effects , anxiety attacks, intestinal issues , swelling, depression, blurry vision and drug induced lupus. My life changed completely, I was with full of energy and working out everyday but I barely have energy to walk and do basic things in life. I also developed food allergies and have to carry an Epipen which I never thought would happen to me in life. My life changed completely:( Please don't take this drug not worth your life. Does anyone know how long the side effects will last ? M 36 9 days

 5  Hypertension None This has worked great for me. I have hypertension in the family so it was only a matter of time before I was going to need medication. I’ve had elevated bp since I was a teen. Have never been overweight, don’t smoke or drink, have an active life style. My high bp is pearly genetic. Before taking lisinopril my bp average was about 139/85 not real high but not good either. The Dr started me on 10mg after 2 weeks there was almost zero difference. It was raised to 20mg a day I saw a difference almost right away. Now my bp average is about 116/75 . I’ve had zero side effects I feel better now than I have for years. Before the medication I had a tight almost heavy feeling in my chest almost all the time, now that is gone completely. M 36 3 weeks

 1  High blood pressure Never have I felt like this. I have been on other medications since I was 23 years old ( genetics). First time on this medicine. Brain fog, memory problem, cognitive issues, cannot sleep, extreme joint and muscle pain. At first doctors thought I was having a stroke and immediately did mri, nope, all good. I have been referred to a neurologist and a rheumatologist. Stopped taking the medicine 3 1/2 weeks ago and symptoms are getting a little bit better. Spent first 2 weeks in bed. I can now help with making dinner, still pretty sore and I get tired. Difficult because my family snd I live a self sufficient life. Animals, garden, canning and all homemade foods. My family has been doing all of my chores. I have not been outside, except to get to the vehicle for doctors appointments . If anyone knows how long it takes to feel normal, please let me know.

 3  High BP I still take this drug as my bp was constantly 140/110. Now its 126/84 on average so it brought my blood pressure down. However the last several months I've had alot of brain fog, anxiety/panic, focus and concentration issues,as well was memory problems. I've had anxiety issues off and on my whole life but not to this degree. After reading these reviews I'm starting to suspect that these issues are related to this drug. They do not list these symptoms as a common side effect. I'm am going to request a change in meds to see if it helps with these issues. I'm curious to hear from anyone who takes this drug or has taken it & had these same side effects. Email me..thanks M 43 1 years

 2  high blood pressure stomach pain, nausea, tiredness I was diagnosed w HPB before having eye surgery. Because I had HBP, I had to see my regular Dr who started me on Lisinopril. After a couple of months on the drug, I started having upper abdominal pain that was so severe I went to urgent care. Drs eliminated everything. Test came back that it wasn't an ulcer. They thought it might be my pancreas (chronic pancreatitis or pancreas cancer). I had a CT scan that revealed nothing - all looked normal. I had an endoscopy & a colonoscopy. Both came back normal as did my blood tests & diet changes to remove all gluten & dairy didn't stop the pain. Dr had me stop taking my anxiety drug & still, the pain persisted. I was so ill that I had stopped exercising, was barely eating. I saw a Dr who thought it might be gut bacteria or candida - it wasn't. One day after I had an especially bad episode of nausea w abdominal pain, it occurred to me that the drs had me stop my anxiety drugs but never had me stop taking Lisinopril. So I stopped. I bought a BP cuff to monitor it myself. Wouldn't you know it - it must have been because for the first time in more than a yr, I don't have pain. I don't have nausea. Every day I feel better than I did the day before. The most shocking part is that I'm not sure I have HBP. I wouldn't recommend Lisinopril to anyone. Thousands of dollars later & so many tests & almost a full yr of misery to the point I thought I'd rather die than live the rest of my life feeling like this & not one F 42 400 days
