Cloudy vision symptoms and conditions

I've been on lipitor and other generic forms of it for the last 8 years since the age of 26. I started on 10mg then 20mg and later 40mg. About 4 years ago I started with severe stomach cramps. The pain is so bad that I have to go home in the middle of the day, I can't walk or sit straight the pain is that bad and NOTHING helps. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would probably put this at a 7 or 8. I would also be nauseous and be really tired. I have had countless opinions and tests done and doctors keep telling me it is an "enigma" and there's nothing wrong with me. We've treated it through coeliac diet, exercise, lots of water, but it never helped. About a week ago I stopped drinking my meds by pure chance. I have not had one incidence of stomach ache. My doctor tells me that it's not possible for the lipitor to be the cause. I am sure he's wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Eyes sensitive to light, cloudy vision, tongue metallic taste, jaw pain, tooth pain, loss of circulation in lower extremities, joint, bone, tendon, muscle pain, high frequency buzzing in ears, pain from head to toe literally, chest pain, stomach pain, digestion problems, bloating, pain in liver and pancreas, kidney and lung areas, heart and right side chest pain...

I had the flu and then some really bad vertigo which made me vomit. the doctor prescribed Prednisone for an inner ear infection he said I had. I guess he thought some sinus congestion may have caused this. However, the whole process has been horrible. I had night sweats which I never really considered until here. Mostly I have had very cloudy vision and continued vertigo. hard to concentrate or read. Not sure how anyone could work their job on this..unless you can work while laying down with your eyes closed..also, my throat feel like its going to slam shut and not open again. I just took my last pill. 20mg three times a day for 5 days..I hope the stuff gets out of my system quickly. wont take this again!

I am a very athletic and active 37 yo male. I suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery and I needed to get cardial clearance before my procedure could go ahead. I have really no medical history other than Mitrovalve Prolapse. The doctor diagnosed me with hbp and put me on 10mg of Lisinopril the first week of January 07. all was ok until after my surgery. I started experiencing the side effects in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Here is a list of symptoms Ive experienced in mostly random, erratic times.

-Mild Cough(thankfully)
-Loss of motivation
-Heart beating out of chest with elevated blood pressure(huh?)
-Pangs of anxiety and mild panic
-Hot flashes (like hearing shocking news)
-Weak in the knees (after flash)
-Mild headache (like caffeine headache)
-Shaky hands
-Irritability
-Cold and hot sensations in hands and feet
-Slightly cloudy vision and sore eyes
-Cramps in calves and forearms
-Random muscle ticks
-Sore neck (could be from my arm sling)

I went to the ER 3 days ago after an episode and got an ekg and it looked fine. The doc thought maybe I was withdrawing from alcohol from the way I was fidgeting. I was a mess. I felt like crap the rest of the day. I called my cardiologist and he (his nurse) suggested Atenolol in addition to my Lisinopryl. I cannot wrap my mind around that. Are they really trying to poison us? Since then I have been eating better and drinking plenty of liquids but I still get the pangs, just not as bad so far. It is affecting my daily life and I dont want it to affect my healing. After reading thru endless posts on this site I feel angry and truly feel I should find an alternative. Thank you all for posting!

ITCHING !!! OH MY !!! My husband went thru a severe bout with itching EVERYWHERE ! His sister was also on a related drug to Lisinopril and she was having itching problems too.

As for floaters and cobwebs and cloudy vision... I have ALL of those symptoms. I can't see at all to drive at twilight or when rain is on the windshield. I had a Dr appt this past Monday and had to cancel it because it was raining and I had no other way to get to the Dr.

I've been off the meds now for about 6 weeks and my strength is returning, my hair is shiny and feels like it has body again and I'm waiting patiently for my sight to get better. The acid reflux problem has improved too.

My girlfriend keeps telling me to see an eye doctor but I just saw one a bit over a year ago. I thought the new glasses were part of the problem as they are transition lenses and now I know it's just because my glasses are of the proper strength it's the Lisinopril that has messed me up.

God Bless,
