Palpatation symptoms and conditions

Every morning after I take my Lisinopril, I start having chest palpitation and my pulse is very irregular and when I take my BP it is usually high because my pulse is so low. It lasts until noon and then I'm fine after lunch. When I'm having these palpitations I get so anxious that I'm having a MI. I'm going to make an appointment to see my PCM. This has been going on for almost a month. I was started on Lisinopril in Sept of 2007. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I have been on Toprol xl 200mg for over 3.5 years now. due to high blood pressure problems. and Hmo Doctors who refuse to change meds. typical of hmo systems. I dont like this medication and have been fighting with Doctors to get off it.( no luck) as yet! I have tryed myself a few times doing it slow at small dose, however I have withdraw symptoms! and im forced to go back to the medication again. I think most Doctors fear this problem so they try and pass the buck to a hmo cardiologist, who only tells you, I dont do that - go back to your primary Doctor? its like running in circles !
bad part I have every know side effect from this medication, Doc gave me 4omg of Diovan to counter act the toprol effects.. ahhh! that didnt help.. make them worse..and caused more effects ! blurred vision -chest pains
short term memory loss, Hair loss, and thinning real bad.. I have counted over 56 side effects for just toprol xl alone.. and another 31 for Diovan
plus the fact Diovan was recalled one time before.. and then changed and re-released again.. I feel like the walking dead - Im so tired all the time..
and boy! if your out in the heat.. 85deg F. or more.. watchout people.. you can pass out cold ! from this crap - its got some real bad effects when it gets hot outside. stay in doors and out of the heat ! unless you have to work like me.. I guess one day I will find a good Doctor who will help me
for now, Hmo systems stink ! but im stuck with one till October.. then its bye bye for Hmo's for me.. there has to be a better way to go !
Toprol xl is not the ansure or cure ! by the way I get palpitations off and on from diovan or toprol xl .. its very strange... hate this medication

I took Lisinopril 10 mg for about 10 days. My doc had told me that 5% of those tested developed an itchy cough, and to stop if this happened to me. I stopped as soon as the cough developed. That was more than a week ago. I haven't been able to get a night's sleep since then. The cough is dry and hacking and continuous. Coughing can also come at any time during the day. Sometimes a coughing attack hits when I already have a cough drop in my mouth.

I feel just the same as I've felt when experiencing a sinus infection, with nighttime drainage and sinus headache.
When I called the doctor's office, I was advised to take an over-the-counter cough med. It hasn't helped. I am exhausted.

This seems to be a case of the "cure" being worse than the initial problem.
