For High Blood Pressure "Went to see doctor for edema in lower legs. Had BP 148/98. Prescribed 20 mg. Been taking it for a little over a month. Only side effect is nearly blacking out when I stand up too fast. Swelling took a few weeks to go away, and BP is stabilized around 101/82. This is the first time ever taking an ACE inhibitor. I lost around 8 lbs of excess fluid as well. Paternal family history of high BP. 40-year-old female."

For High Blood Pressure "The cough with all the congestion is annoying. Everyone is always asking if I'm ill. My blood pressure is still averaging 190/124. BPM is around 90-135. I have been on 2.5 mg for 4 months with no change. I'm a 48-year-old white female in a high-pressure medical career. No health insurance, so my doctor writes me Lisinopril because it is free. My next appointment is in 2 weeks. I'm sure he will make changes."

For Migraine Prevention "The doctor gave me 10 mg lisinopril for high blood pressure - I never had a headache for over a month. It was great, but I developed a bad cough, so he took me off. I miss not having the headaches. I think I was taking too high a dose. I'd like to try a smaller mg."

For High Blood Pressure "Does a fine job lowering my blood pressure, and I feel much better. The cough is irksome. Having a cough drop in the far back of my mouth tends to relieve it, and thank goodness you can find sugar-free ones now. Still, considering bladder control problems and the way the cough disrupts my sleep, I'll probably switch to another medicine."
