Im only 14 years old.I have High BP.I also have Polycystic Kidney Disease.I started taking BP Pills when I was young.Just last week I went to the Docotr and she switched my medication to Lisinopril 10mg.I havent had these side effects yet but Im so afraid that I will.I try to stay active and I don't want the feelings that are described in here.I told my mom about all the side effects other people are having because of this medication and she ruses to believe me and says i must keep taking the medication.She makes sure I take it.See I havent had these side effects yet.I take my pill ever night at 10 pm.Does it matter if you take it in the monring or at night?If any one would like to contact me my email is ****** .Thank you so much for this site.

Just wanted everyone who has polycystic kidney disease and is on lisinopril to know that I've been on it for seven months and already my cysts are showing a decrease in size. My nephrologist said this may be the drug that turns my condition into one where all I have to do is take a pill rather than need a kidney transplant (like my dad needed). She's right. And at 10mg, I'm not having any side effects. In fact, I feel much better being on this bp med rather than the older one...I'm more active and generally feel great. Everyone's different so don't be afraid to try it.
