I am a 50yr old female... was prescribed Lisinopril 10mg for bp.. after a few weeks I started getting a funny hard to explain feeling with my heart beating a certain way.. don't know how to explain it.. fluttering maybe.. feel it pounding. So after I realized it could be this pill I stopped it.. I moved out of state from my dr... and not ins. yet.. however I watch my bp and when it got alittle higher I thought I will take 1/2 one.. which takes BP down to normal, but after doing this here and there.. that same feeling in my heart started..
Has anyone experienced this feeling?? I don't seem to have the other side effects Thank God.. but this one scares me as I don't see anyone mentioning this feeilng..

After being prescribed 10mg a day, my BP went down dramatically, sometimes as low as 85/60, and I was feeling very fatigued. ( No wonder ) I cut the dose to 5mg and my BP is still on the low side, but occasionally spikes to 140/90, then abruptly goes down to the very low 100's/70 or so. IN the past six weeks or so, I started to develop a very dry cough. In the past three weeks or so, I've had a very dry mouth, to the point where it's painfully dry upon awakening in the morning. I've had a few episodes of "skipped" heartbeats, sometimes feel the sensation of pressure on the left side of my chest, but never made a correlation of these symptoms with the medication. Since reading this, I'm going to d/c the medication and ask my doc about a beta blocker, which I've taken in the past with virtually no side effects, other than a lower pulse rate. This has been really eye-opening!

I have been taking 10mg daily of LISINOPRIL for almost a year now. It has helped my high blood pressure which had been (180/110) tremendously. My BP is now in the 130's/70's. I am also being treated for AF with Rapid Ventricular Response for which I take 160mg of Sotalol daily. I am very thankful for both of these drugs, I believe they may have saved my life. I will suffer with a few mild side effects. I am alive and doing well and in my thinking, that is whats important. My experience with Lisinopril has been a positive one.
