"I am a healthcare worker and inherited the risks of heart disease and diabetes. I worked for years in a high-stress university teaching hospital. I had vague symptoms, knew what to do, and did not delay getting to an ER. I called a friend/cardiologist - yes, had a heart attack without muscle injury (thank heavens!). I had triple bypass surgery. I followed the doctor's orders to the 'T'. Recently, I started on lisinopril and have had improved blood pressure and heart rate control. Overall, I feel 90% better."

"Having been taken to the hospital for an arrhythmia, the doctor prescribed many drugs, including this one. Taking it since March 8, 2016, and am always tired, no desire to do anything, and am in bed by 8 pm. I only take 2.5 mg. The doctor says I'm doing well, but have to contact him."

"I had been taking lisinopril for at least two years. I believe that it caused various side effects. They are as follows: a. Joint, muscle, and skeletal aches and pain throughout the entire body. It also caused me pain to walk. My hips and my feet especially hurt when I walked. b. Blurred vision c. Melasma on the face around the cheeks d. Inflammation of the gums. Periodically my upper front and side gums where the canines are would flare up. Very painful."
