Dyazide symptoms and conditions

I have been off Lisinopril for 5 weeks and feel 200% better than I have in almost a year. All of the side effects have disappeared except for the cough and that too is almost gone.
My family doctor told me to just stop taking it and I did. Cutting it out slowly doesn't work. You still have all the side effects.
My oncologist and ENT doctor said this drug is nasty to many people.
I live on chemo meds because I have metastatic breast cancer and they don't give me any problems.
Funny how one 10mg BP pill could cause so many problems.
Dyazide keeps my BP in check with no side effects.
I think a lot of doctors are brainwashed in regards to Lisinopril. Thank goodness for doctors who listen and bother to check things out. I have 3 of the best..Life without Lisinopril......Wonderful !!!!!

PLEASE READ MY STORY!!!....My Doc switched me from Dyazide to Lisinopril Hctz 20/12.5 in Jan'07 for my high blood pressure. The first day after I started taking the medication, my BP dropped very LOW and so did my heart rate-53. My blood pressure readings continued to be consistently LOW for months, but Doc kept telling me it was OK. Had other side effects; Cough, lethargy, swollen LIP, (daughter called me Duck Lips!) sleeplessness, lightheadedness, hairloss, muscle fatigue. All symptoms I attributed to Menopause. (Except the duck lips)Over the summer, I developed slight Edema in my extremities whether I was exercising or not, thought that was weird. Told Doc about it, she ordered Blood work done to see what inflammation level is. Lab Report showed; INCREASE in BUN & Creatinine levels with eGFR level DECREASING. These levels are indicators of Impaired Kidney Functioning! Doc not concerned, tells me not to worry, just a "Bad Test Day." She increases my dosage to 20/25. Within 4 weeks of the increase, I experienced 3 bad episodes, 2 of which I went to the Emergency Room and should've for the other. In all the episodes I experienced Chest pain, Shortness of Breath, Severe Headache, Dizziness. I'm thinking I'm having a Heart Attack or Stroke because I'm a very high RISK. Tests come out normal, docs however, concerned about my LOW Blood Pressure readings but None of them tell me to discontinue the Lisinopril HCTZ. Have a 4th episode two weeks ago after walking/hiking about a mile and a half, stopping periodically to rest and drinking plenty of water on the way. After I completed my walk, I again rested for 45 minutes. I stood up, became very Dizzy, developed Shortness of Breath, Bad Headache, Profusely Perspiring, Back pain. Dummy me drove 10 minutes to get home (Should NOT have done that) Had daughter call 911. Was admitted to the hospital with SEVERE Dehydration, Dangerously LOW Blood Pressure-63/34, and going into Renal Failure which blood tests confirmed. I'm given IV fluids plus Potassium Chloride. Hospital takes me OFF of Lisinopril HCTZ and puts me on Lisinopril at 5mg!!! Had a hunch, Told the Docs at the hospital against their advice, "I'm NOT taking the Lisinopril!!" Upon discharge my BP remained in the 80-90's/40-50', except when I threw the doctor out of my hospital room because he wasn't listening to me. My Dystolic rose to a whopping 66. Went to my Doc for follow-up in two days. My BP was 146/98. Told her what I told other Docs. She convinces me to try Lisinopril 5mg for 30 days. Took it for 2 days, still bothered by what happened and searching for more information. Got LUCKY, Found this website!! I threw the bottle away. Went to a Nephrologist that specializes in hypertension. My hunch/intuition was correct!! He told me in RARE cases, Lisinopril will "cause" renal insufficiency. Discontinuation of the medication will reverse the negative effects. (I hope) Current Blood work states levels within normal reference range.

Looking for a good Medical Malpractice Attorney.

i was on lisinopril for a year and a half when it hit me like a ton of bricks.... i was twenty three years old and in super health, other than the moderatly high bp. i became very tired and dizzy like someone flipped a switch. At first i thought i was just coming down with a bad cold but after a week i knew it most have been somthing more. I was tired all the time, had problems with my sinuses, headaches, nausea, heart palpatations, dizzy, felt like i was going to faint all the time. I couldn't get to sleep at night and if i did i didn't want to get up in the morning. Even after 10 hrs of sleep i felt like i had just played two football games. I am one of the most optomistic people you will ever meet and i felt like i was going to die... I had no idea what was going on with me. I saw many doctors and they all told me that it was in my head. I felt this way for over a year when i suggested to my Dr that maybe it was the lisinopril. She really didn't think so but we stopped taking it and started a beta blocker. i have been off the lisinopril for 4 months and feel a ton better but still have a long way to go. Could anyone tell me how long this will last and what i could do to speed up my recovery... thanks CP

Went to Dr. 2 days ago. BP was 142/80 and he about had a fit. I didn't think that was so terrible. But in addition to Dyazide and Verapamil (been on them for years with no major complaints), he added Lisinopril, 5 mg. daily. It's been two days now and I'm done with the Lisinopril. I immediately got a headache, chest pain, leg pain and weakness, dizziness with a feeling of just being "off", had to take naps both days, blurred vision, loss of appetite, and I have neck and shoulder pain. Lucky I found this website.

I usually tolerate prescription drugs very well - but feel poisoned after JUST 2 DAYS on a small dosage, 5mg. of Lisinopril.

I'm calling my Dr. tomorrow, out of courtesy, to let him know that I'm not continuing to take this nasty pill.

Thank you for listening.

I am on 2 blood pressure medications. Tiazac and Dyazide

Where can I go to see what ALL the side effects of these 2 medications are?

I have had a cough that I believe one or both of the blood pressure medications are responsible.
