Enalapril "This medication worked great for me as far as keeping my BP in check while I recovered from heart failure. I did have some mild coughing and dizziness if I got up too fast, but nothing I couldn't handle. After being on this for 1 1/2 years, I developed angioedema - swelling of lip and face. Was immediately taken off the meds, told to take some Benadryl. The symptoms went away and I was put on a different medication."

"I'm sure that this medicine works wonders for those who can tolerate it, but not for me. I was on it for 6 to 7 weeks and couldn't finish a sentence without coughing every two words. The worst part, though, is that it caused me to develop a case of pancreatitis after 7 weeks, which kept me in the hospital for 10 days, and I was unable to eat for 10 days and not able to drink fluids for 5 days. I lived on IV fluids. I hope everyone else has better luck."

"Enalapril has been shown to prevent the remodeling of heart structure. This is the most important drug that my 20-year-old son takes with respect to delaying transplant. His ventricular function has not deteriorated since starting enalapril 9 years ago, and his cardiologist tells him to take this medication religiously."
