Gym workout symptoms and conditions

depression....I started taking lisinopril a month and a have ago, I started feeling very tired all the time, had no energy to do housechores, even take care of my kids and play with them. And then the crying!!...every day, I felt so sick, and the cough. No way, I stopped the medication, I will continue with my new diet and gym workout, and try something natural. This is not life. I am only 36.

Hello.

I am 26 years old with no health issues at all. Wanted to quit smoking, Dr. prescribed me bupropion/Wellbutron SR 150 mg.
I was instructed to take 1 pill a day for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I set my quit date and then take 2 pills a day. (300mg)
For the first 2 weeks...I really didnt feel like myself. Felt like I can snap at one moment and then calm the next moment. ok, not such a big deal.

During week 3 I quit smoking and increased the dosage to 2 pills a day as instructed. I quit on Saturday, July 16th 2006. On Tuesday i started off with my regionals itching like crazy! I wasnt sure why this was happeneing so i put some anti itch cream and helped some what. I would just keep breaking out with the same bad itch anyway. Then...Wednesday, July 19th I woke up 2:00 AM with real bad chest pains and I was itching all over the place. From my head, neck, arms to my back and front of my body and basically had rashes all over the place.
They would disappear from one spot and appear in a different spot. I then started researching all over the internet about te side effects and I did find a ton of people expereincing the same things. From 2 AM i couldnt go back to sleep because of the pain in my chest and the HORRIBLE ITCHING and rashes.
I went ot the ER around 10:00 AM and stood there till about 5:30 PM. When I was in the ER i started breaking out even worse. My right eye was closing shut and my right hand became so itchy and swollen it looked like i broke my hand.
They quickly gave me a shot of Benadryl and some steroid with it and after about 30-60 minutes... the swelling started going away. They didnt find any realtionship from the Wellbutrin and my chest pain and the itchingness which i didnt understand.

Anyway, i still have some rashes breaking out...I have been using Benadryl which will control it a little bit but then I switched over to Claritin because i couldnt stand feeling like a walking Zombie from the Benadryl.

I am still researching and waiting for my Dr to come back to figure out how I can get rid of the itchy rash breakouts. I also feel just mild pain in my chest about once or twice a day for about 10 minutes.

If anyone knows anything that can help me...I would appreciate it.

thanks.

My bio stats: Male, age 41, bodyfat 12-15%, 5'8, 200lbs (I gym a lot). BP without medication range from 150-160/90-110.

Only started treating my BP this year.

Developed a persistent coughing immediately after taking Lisinopril (20mg). Coughing especially bad round 12mn to 4am before being able to fall asleep. Lost of strange and almost blacked out twice in the gym. Lost of libido and penile erection after about 2 months of use. Horrified, I saw my doctor and he swtiched me to Losartan about 1.5 weeks ago.

With Losartan (25mg) I developed a sore throat within 3 days of use which become a really bad chest infection a week later. This was 2 wks ago and I'm still fighting the chest infection with erythromycin and codine.

Obviously, this completely spoiled my gym workout schedule.

Also, I realised that about 4-5 hours after taking Losartan, I'd develop and really bad lower back pain (almost like a slip disk). It would go away after about 6-8 hours.

I never felt more sick this long. Is it worth taking the medications?????? Is there a way to do this naturally without drugs???? HELP!!!!!!

I'm almost ready to give up eating out and just making plain boiled chick breast meat everyday!
