Had to stop the drug after 5 days. It was making me feel so incredibly bad and sure I was getting ready to check out. I did not have the cough, but did have the insomnia, muscle ache and cramps, made my lightheadedness which is bad really, really bad. I was getting abd cramps and the eyesight was getting strained. AND, the BP really did not improve. I stopped it, and the PVC's I have were so persistent and unpleasant I did return to my 25mg of toporol XL which I would prefer not to be on. But, I have to be able to function at some basic level. UGH. Liam

Just resumed my 25mg of toporol XL after a miserable 5 day trial on lisinopril. My main symptoms are PVC's, chest tightness (chronic), lightheadedness. These seem to be somewhat helped by the medication, and I wonder about upping it to 50mg (MD fine with that), but I really don't want to be on it. Originally put on for high BP (150/90), and persistent PVCs. I need to lose about 40 pounds to get the BP back to normal, but if this toporol puts the weight on that is truelly a catch 22. Anyone find any supplements that could be helpful? Please feel free to email me. Thanks Liam
