Lisinopil symptoms and conditions

Hi,I am a 43 year old female who has high blood pressure. I have been taking 10 mg of lisinopil for about 8 weeks. I started getting the dry cough and always felt like clearing my throat. I went to the ENT and was told that I had acid reflux. I am up most of the night coughing and choking. I am wondering after reading the complaints that this med might be causing it. I am now taking Nexium for the acid reflux but the dry cough is still happening. My high blood pressure was only 145/90 so I am thinking of going off the meds and try to get the BP down on my own.

I had stomach pain, pain in chest, tightness in throat, then horrible rash. After a month on prednisone I started breaking out as I decreased the dosage. I told my doctor I thought it was the Lisinopril and I stopped taking it. I'm feeling better now after being off of it for a week, but still not 100% o.k. I talked to the pharmacist and she said, "You must be allergic to sulfa". I am very allergic to it and have always listed this on the forms in the doctors' offices. Apparently there is some relation between lisinopril and sulfa.
