I have breathing issues taking lisinopril. I have sleep apnea that is well controlled but when taking lisinopril I have a lot of episodes during the night and feel like a flu during the day
I didn't personally experience this problem, but I was my Grandmother's caretaker for a decade and she had the same problem and we tried multiple times and even removed other meds as a check, but it always came back to the Lisinopril.
When you're experiencing shortness of breath, is your blood pressure at a normal level?
When my diastolic bp is too high, I can't breathe. Like theirs pressure on my stomach.
No I have never had my lisinopril cause any shortness of breath. I've been talking it for about 2 years.
I do. I'm currently trying to taper my dosage.
