Linsopril symptoms and conditions

I am a 66 year old female with high blood pressure, 150 or 140ish over 90 or a bit higher. Was on 25,, then 50 then 100 and now 200 a day and also taking lisinopril. Can't sleep, and I always was a great sleeper. Not a big fan of taking drugs. Now she put me on Lipitor for 229 cholesterol. Feel I'm being overmedicated but Dr says it's just fine. Have a daughter who is a hospital RN and she says none of her patients take 200 doses. Does anyone else think 200 is unheard of?

Has anyone experienced flash headaches while taking Linsopril? I have been taking Linsopril for about 3 months and have recently been experiencing severe flash headaches when engaging in sex, exercising and anything else that requires strenuous activities. Paid $1900 for a negative MRI. I would love to hear from anyone experiencing the same symptoms.. Thanks.

Started Lisinopril a week ago (20mg) and so far, so good. Had been on HCTZ for several years but it really didn't work very well. My Doc, who is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and also practices Integrative and Holistic medicine, said that my blood test indicated that Diuretic BP meds are not what I need, rather, I need something to ease the tension in my circulatory system. Hence the Lisinopril. Only side effect so far is slight tingling in right hand and foot in the evenings. Not bothersom, just noticible. BP has gone from 195/105 to 128/18 so it's really working. I feel bad for those having bad side effects. It's working for me.

I WAS STARTED ON 40 MG OF LINSOPRIL AT FIRST-WITHEN THE SECOND DAY I BEGAN DEVELOPING BAD SIDE EFFECTS, SORE THROAT, NO ENERGY,VERY DEPPRESSED, ANXIOUS. IT TOOK ME A WEEK OR SO TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS DOING THIS TO ME I FINNALY LOOKED UP SIDE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICATION ON THE NET AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME SIDE EFFECTS, I QUIT THE MED AND WAS FEELING BETTER THE NEXT DAY, DOC THEN SWITCHED ME TO LOTREL A COUPLE WEEKS LATER AGAIN SAME SYMPTOMS BUT WORSE IT BROUGHT MY BP DOWN BUT MADE MY PULSE SHOOT THROUGH ROOF, NO ENERGY AGAIN, SORE AND SWOLLEN THROAT, SWEATING PALMS AND FEET, BLUE ANKLES, I AGAIN QUIT THIS DRUG AND IM ALREADY FEELING MUCH BETTER, I THINK THAT I MUST BE ALLERGIC TO ALL ACE INHIBITORS OR ARE THESE JUST THE NORMAL SIDE EFFECTS? ANYONE HQVE SAME PROBLEMS?
