Elevated liver enzymes symptoms and conditions

Hi. I posted two times in June, took lisinopril 2 weeks in April and was having side-effects 7-8 weeks out. I began a simple detox (lemon in my water, lots of water, more vegetables), took some supplements/vitamins and the racing heart, tingling, chest pains diminished greatly. My blood pressure became near normal on its own over May/June but shot back up sky high the day I went back to the doctor on June 22!! (of course). It is slowly normalizing again. My bloodwork showed high liver enzymes and that is why I believe that it took so long for the drug to clear my system. Lisinopril did not cause the high liver enzymes as I had that before the drug was prescribed. It is processed mainly by the kidneys so could cause problems there.

I believe that my body was in trouble and the elevated liver enzymes and bp were the first signs. I think the lisinopril took me over the edge. I had one very bad panic attack at night this week with racing heart, horrible chest pain, left sided tingling and bilateral hands/feet tingling. I really thought I was dying. I had never had these symptoms before starting that drug but now I think that maybe I was in a hypoglycemic state. All this to say that, in my research, I came across books by Dr. Sandra Cabot (Unlock the Secrets that Keep You Fat, The Liver Cleansing Diet) that explains a lot of the problems I am having (which many of you have mentioned also). These are systemic, affect the vital organs/functions of the body (ability to lose weight, high bp, achy joints, etc), and are pre-diabetic/pre-liver disease states. The book gave me a lot of hope because we can get our bodies back in working order through proper diet, exercise, and supplements. Dr. Cabot has a great website too. Google her and check it out.

My ALT test has been elevated - could Lisinopril be the cause of
the elevated liver enzymes?

okay so today is Wednesday, ive been having really bad headaches for the past two weeks, i don't know why, but on Monday, my eyes started hurting whenever i looked anywhere else but straight ahead, really intense dizziness...Tuesday, the dizziness subsided, id been on dayquil/nyquil since Monday morning and stopped it Tuesday night

Wednesday - i stayed out of school all day, doctors diagnosed a sinus infection, and gave me the Zpak...

so since Monday, i hadn't crapped....i don't know if it was just what i had been eating, the illness, or what, but right when i took the Zpak's double dose, ive been dealing with stomach cramps and diarrhea. i got some kind of rash on my abdomen as well, im worried to find out what other side effects come on from this drug...

I have been on Lisinopril and a diuretic for about 1.5 years -- started with 5mg of lisinopril. At first had a slight cough, but went away. In Feb 2008 routine blood tests were done and my ALT - liver enzyme was slightly elevated to 36. ( last test in 2003 was normal) --- had the test repeated in Aug 2008 and the ALT was up to 41. Doctor was not too worried, not very elevated - but I persisted as to why and she sent me for an ultrasound that showed all was normal for my liver, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys. My pressure was up a bit at the Aug appt - so she increased my Lisinopril to 10mg. I had another liver enzyme test done beg of Oct 2008 and now the ALT is up to 66. I told her the only difference is increasing my Lisinopril and that must be the cause for elevated ALT levels. She is not sure -- I am now being referred to a specialist -- but told to stop taking the Lisinopril for 3 weeks and they will see what the levels are. Have only seen a few mentions of elevated liver enzymes as a side effect -- has anyone else experienced?? My AST levels are normal.

I have been taking OMEPROZOLE for around 9 months for Barretts Asophegus reflux.
In general I was beginning to feel I was very ill with symptoms mainly: hot flushes, my face was burning for a few seconds, dizziness, stomach cramps top right mainly, feelings of diareah, and dry mouth.
Has anybody else experienced any of these symptoms... my GP is sending me for a scan on my Gall Bladder, but in my mind all these cramps are associated with Omeprozole... I cannot stop taking it or I get severe pain between my shoulder blades with reflux burning.

I have been on Lisiopril HCTZ for a week and a half now and the stomach cramps, gurgling, bloating and gas started yesterday.It really scared me. I switched from Diovan because of simuliar pains. I thought I had gallstones because of the pinching cramping pains. (also have slightly elevated liver enzymes) I had a sonogram and everything looked normal.I have also had the painful neck/throat this past week and my shoulder muscles started cramping this morning. I am going to go back on my old propanolol and diuretic tomorrow, just long enough to show myself it is these awful BP pills. The doctor told me I need to quit reading the side effects on the RX label. I told him I had been doing that once I started having symptoms. When it says contact your Dr immediately if you have severe abdominal pain, I think I need to take that seriously and drop the Doctor who tells me to not read the drug phamplet! Oh, did I mention that I had the Rash from Hell show up too. Again, a side effect that says to contact your Dr immediately. The severe rash was while on the Diovan and lasted a full week.

Been taking this for about 18 months. I have experienced dizziness, facial numbness, elevated liver enzymes, chest pain, and chronic cough. Been to the docotor several times and have had multiple tests run. Finally fed up, I switched doctors. This was the first time Lisinopril was even mentioned as a possible cause even though she is doubtful. I came home and immediately searched the internet to find this forum. So glad I did!

Lipitor Cholesterol Medication Users vs. Pfizer Inc. (maker of Lipitor) Lawsuit
Cholesterol-Fighting Drug Tied to Liver, Kidney Injury

The Kahn Gauthier Law Group is investigating possible lawsuits against Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor (atorvastatin), to recover for liver or kidney damage suffered by patients prescribed Lipitor. Like other drugs in its class (the statins), Lipitor can cause elevated liver enzymes. In clinical trials, this occurred in 0.7 percent of the patients, but the rate was much higher for those taking the 80 mg dose.

Another serious side effect of Lipitor and other statins is a condition called rhabdomyolysis, in which muscle cells break down and release potentially toxic cell contents into the bloodstream.

My husband has been taking Singulair for a little over a year. It has really helped his asthma. But..... in this year period he has complained of dizziness, ear popping, ringing in the ear. He went through series of tests and all the Dr. could come up with was Meniere's. I guess that's the diagnosis when they can't pinpoint it. He had blood work done this week and the Dr. advised him of elevated liver enzymes. I saw 2 other posts concerning this. Can Singulair be the culprit? It really has helped with his asthma but the side effects aren't worth it.

I am 35 yr old female and have been on Singulair for at least 3 years, maybe 4. I stopped taking it 3 weeks ago and I am feeling better than I have in ages. I had no idea there were so many side effects until I started reading the posts here. I had read on packaging inserts about the higher incidents of Singulair causing ear and respiratory infections. I have had numerous infections in the time I have been on this med. I have also had problems with nightmares, teethgrinding, tension in the jaw area and severe headaches. Now I read that others taking Singulair are experiencing the same! The nightmares are terrifying and vivid, something that had not troubled me before. I recently found out I have elevated liver enzymes which the dr cannot figure out why. I now suspect it might be the Singulair or even the combination of taking it with Zyrtec. I really wish I could get off Zyrtec, but I sneeze non-stop and itch like crazy the three times I have tried to stop. Help!

elevated liver enzymes a 66 and 69. this is a question. is it possible . didn't happen until stared taking Pentasa
