Lisinapril symptoms and conditions

Horrific muscle cramps, twitches or fluttering in my heart/chest. Aches, pains, depression, feeling old, having lots of hair come out each day, thinking it looks like more than it should be, swollen stomach/bladder/uterus, urge to pee even when my bladder is empty. Cramps in my bladder/abdomen. Some dizziness and weird vision episodes.

They had me add these in a separate area - these are just the majority of what I can think of. Part 2 to my post.

I have been on and off Lisinapril now for about ten years.
I have never had the dry cough, but, i never have had much energy.
Another disturbing thing I noticed is that I seem to get very depressed from it..very blue, without the ability to motivate to get things done.
Also, my weight went up by ten pounds a year and now, i am severely overweight. no diet seems to work!
I have often wondered if others have experienced fatigue, general apathy, and weight gain after using this medication over a long period of time?

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this website! I was prescribed Linsinopril in 2004 and within a few months began to feel lousy. The drug never seemed to lower my blood pressure to "acceptable" levels and I developed a rash, which sent me to three dermatologists in six months until I finally decided to go to an accupuncturist. The accupuncture treatments seemed to work at first, but the rash returned. Then my leg started giving me problems. In fact, my hip/leg hurt so badly I was considering hip replacement! It felt like my leg was going to fall off. Rising from sitting positions made me feel like a cripple and the pain was excruciating! Xrays and ultrasounds showed nothing. I finally begin going to a chiropractor but I'm not getting better -- I'm just managing the pain a little differently. All along I kept thinking it must be something I'm ingesting that's giving me these problems. I have suffered the same symptoms as many of you, though the coughs weren't nearly as bad. Last year a new doctor (I "fired" the other one because her bedside manner sucked and I wasn't getting any better no matter how I tried) took me off Lisinopril and prescribed Enalapril maleate and even though the rash has gone away (somewhat) the pain in my hip and leg is still awful, and that hacking cough is still there -- in addition to the fatigue, dizziness and swelling. I think this medication isn't much better than the Lisinopril. Since I'm also taking furosemide, I'll stick with that until my next appointment and see whether I can feel like my old self again.

I am 51, 5 years post-menopausal, with night sweats, high bp and a last recorded cholesterol level of 5.8
I have been on lisinapril for a couple of years for the high bp with no apparent adverse side effects. I no longer have daytime hot flashes but the sweats continue in the evenings and early mornings.
I have been taking simvastatin for some months now.
My biceps seem to ache after the slightest effort.
My optical prescription has changed.
My night sweats are absolutely horrendous if I take my tablet - I retire at about 11.30pm then spend the night from 2am dozing in between throwing covers off and on and searching for a cool, dry bit of mattress and pillow - I feel as if I haven't been to bed at all and have an itchy sweat rash at the back of my head and neck.
If I don't take it, I sleep until dawn (5.30am) then doze between sweats until I get up and take my lisinapril at 8am but the sweats are not nearly so frequent or severe and I can function during the day.
I am tempted to blame my sleepless nights on simvastatin but am I being fair?
