For High Blood Pressure "I am presently on Lisinopril HCTZ, and for a while, I was doing well. Then I got upped from 10/12.5 to 20/25, and within a month of using, I have headaches, dizziness, nausea, the cough sometimes to the point of falling over. I can't seem to make my brain work the way I need it to, and my whole body hurts. My blood pressure is down, no question about that, but this is freaking me out."

For High Blood Pressure "It's just okay. Lowered my BP marginally. However, the coughing, constant acid reflux, and muscle aches are terrible. Both of my shoulders and forearms are sore and tingly - this was never an issue until I started this medication. I've woken up with severe leg pain and cramps. I've gone to the doctor, and they've run every test possible, and nothing shows up as being wrong; so it has to be this medication."

For High Blood Pressure "Lisinopril 10 for 1 day, plus thyroid medicine and not eating or drinking enough, so I blacked out. Dr. couldn't get blood pressure because it was too low. Pain in shoulders, stuffy nose, hard swallowing, cramp in foot. Dr. said to wait 3-5 days, then start with half dose."

For High Blood Pressure "I just started taking it, and it makes me feel like I have no energy, and it made my reflux act up. I don't like the feeling it is giving me. I'm not going to take it anymore. I'm used to being active, and I can't on this medication, and this medication made me have an upset belly, and I hurt enough without this medication making me hurt worse."

For High Blood Pressure "Every day when I take it, I feel sick, lightheaded, dizzy, my stomach knots up, and it is awful pain. I have to lay down for a while to get over it, and after reading all of the reviews on lisinopril, I'm wondering if it hasn't been side effects all along since I've been taking the medication."
