Hi Gang,
Im on 20 mg of Lisinopril in the morning and 25 mg of atenolol at night. The Lisinoril is for my blood pressure and the Atenolol is for my anxiety attacks that i have. O.o But im still have anxiety attacks, and i don't know why. So ive had all the test, heart ultra sound, ekg's, blood work, treadmill ekg, halter monitor for 3 days. The works basicly. Im 40 and yes over weight. But i passed all the test with flying colors. Doc said he only ever wants to see me again, if im Really sick. Anyone know why im getting anxiety attacks (mine are rapid heart beats, and feeling like fainting) all of a sudden. When i started the lisinopril i had a minor cough, but not any more. Otherwise ive been pretty good with both meds. Just don't know what is triggering the anxiety!

Am I the only one who has gained a lot of weight while on Lisinopril? I have gained over 40lbs in 3 years. I have also experienced odd muscle cramping and have never made a connection to this and Lisinopril. The pain in my ear, side of my head, and my jaw was unbelievable. ENT dr thought it was TMJ or nerve damage. He was not able to really pin down the exact cause. One month later I was bed ridden with severe back pain, which I have never had before. MRI showed nothing. Headaches are daily, cough, leg cramps, chest pain, decreased sex drive, and definitely have feelings of depression. I have never made the connection between the changes in my personality, health, and lifestyle to this medicine; but now I have. I will be immediately contacting my doctor to discuss alternatives. My BP when I started was 150/90 and now is 112/70. Please let me know if anyone has also had the weight gain like I have experienced. I know I am going to have to have hard facts to show to my doctor. Thank you.

Hi guys.... Well I'm quite interested in this drug and I do prescribe it to my patients however I am surprised at the magnitude of side effects listed here. I am based here in south-east Asia and I do prescribe Yasmin to my patients and I rarely here of these side effects. Perhaps this can be contributed to the fact that it is available here under a different brand name however consists of the same chemical position. I am interested in the ones available in the U.S. Does anyone know how I may go about purchasing them. You can contact me personally on ******thank you.

I have been on Lisinopril fro 6 months. AT 1st 1 felt horrible like most of the symtoms already mentioned (tired, heart palpitations,etc) Most side effects have subsided after about a month or so, EXCEPT this tickle cough that started within days of taking it and is driving me crazy! I have stress incontinence to begin with (pee when I sneeze or cough) but nothing that a thin panty liner worn every day to take of the problem. This cough is constant..all night long, during the day...I am so tired of that feather tickle in my throat..and it goes without saying that my stress incontinence is much worse..that panty liners no longer are large enough to control that problem! Thank goodness I have a doctors appt tomorrow...I refuse to stay on this medication even though it has done great for my BP

Has anyone experienced flash headaches while taking Linsopril? I have been taking Linsopril for about 3 months and have recently been experiencing severe flash headaches when engaging in sex, exercising and anything else that requires strenuous activities. Paid $1900 for a negative MRI. I would love to hear from anyone experiencing the same symptoms.. Thanks.

I have been taking one 40MG Lisinopril daily and want to wean myself off it due to the daily nausea I have everyday. How do I taper off Lisinopril?

Thank you for your help

I am having tingling burning sensation in my feet, legs and hands and arms. My blood pressure was not improving on 5 mg so I upped it to 10 and those symptoms are much worse. The tingling sensation goes all the way up my left arm and up above my knees on my legs.

I have tried to take the Lisinipril before and stopped for these same reasons. My doctor does not seem to think that it is due to the Lisinipril. so I tried it again and the burning, burning sensation is driving me crazy and keeping me awake. I have to get up and stand in cold water for a while to get some relief.

I have not read about anyone with the same symptoms. Does anyone out there have these symptoms??

Started Lisinopril a week ago (20mg) and so far, so good. Had been on HCTZ for several years but it really didn't work very well. My Doc, who is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and also practices Integrative and Holistic medicine, said that my blood test indicated that Diuretic BP meds are not what I need, rather, I need something to ease the tension in my circulatory system. Hence the Lisinopril. Only side effect so far is slight tingling in right hand and foot in the evenings. Not bothersom, just noticible. BP has gone from 195/105 to 128/18 so it's really working. I feel bad for those having bad side effects. It's working for me.

I am 17 yrs old, and am taking Lisinopril. Yes, I know I shouldn't have high blood pressure at this age, but I do and my average BP is 156/101. X.X

Since taking this medication, I have been extremely tired (this could also be due to the fact I do not get to sleep until about 3AM) when I do get up I just use the bathroom and go right back to bed. Until about 4PM... I also have trouble getting to sleep. This may not have anything to do with this medication, but it sort of feels like bubbles popping in my stomach. I feel like I really need to pass gas, but I can't. When outside in the heat, I can actually feel my heartbeat racing. I haven't ever been able to feel it before.

PLEASE HELP....

My husband is 37yr. old Type II diabetic with high blood pressure. About 8 months ago, the Dr. put him on Linosipril and he has slowly deterioated healt wise that it is hard to tell why.

As of tnight, he is int he hospital for the 6th time in 90-days and the Dr. cannot figure out why he has excruating abdominal pain, sever vomitting and previously diarhea. He gained weight when first on Linosipril, however since May he has lost 50+ lbs and is in pain so sever he cannot work.

My sister who is 40 has been on Linosopril developed pancreatitis and has since been taken off the med. This has seemed to help, but she still battles pancreatitis.

Anybody else have a similar situation on the medication? Please e-mail me at ****** if you have.

Has anyone had any Positive (besides decreased blood pressure) things happen on this medication? My doctor just prescribed it to me, and he said It was a wonderful drug, but now i dont even want to take it after reading all these. It doesnt seem worth having other health issues to resolve one problem. I could deal with dizziness and light headedness because i already suffer from vertigo, but I've lost 30 lbs in 6 months and that was hard enough, Ill be darned if I gain it all back and suffer from coughing,diarrhea, pain and worse headaches. Email me @ ****** if anything positive has happened

this is not necessarily a proven side effect but during the time period that I've taken Zestril, I've been diagnosed with refractory anemia. I started taken Zestril in the year 2000. I've had mild anemia for about that same time period. About a year ago, I started having shoulder pain, numb thighs, severe mid-lower back pain, distended stomach. Weight loss. Potassium level increased.
Red blood cell count dropped as low as 31. Diagnosed as refractory anemia. Unknown cause.
All tests were done to check for cancers. All negative.
Erthropoetin shots were used to push the red blood cell count back up again. After five shots, the count dropped. More shots. I stopped taking the lisinipril and my red blood cell count has stabilized. Blood pressure went up to 150. I'm back on lisinipril. Waiting to see what happens next.
Cough yes. Sleepy in the morning and late afternoon naps. Yes.
Anyone else experience anemia since beginning to take lisinopril?
