I began taking Lisiniprila few days ago upon leaving the hospital after an SVT attack and getting angioplasty and a stent for blocked artery. I had been on Altace already and had not attributed any symptoms I was having then to blood pressure medicine. I have fibro-myalgia, anxiety disorder as well as a history of depression so I am a difficult patient to treat at times as far as what disease may be causing what symptoms.
There is NO doubt WHATSOEVER that Lisinipril has made me feel ten times sicker than I have felt in quite a while. I have nausea almost 24-7, stomach pain, burning, feeling of something "turning over" inside my stomach as well as fatigue, light-headedness, pain in my eyes, pain in my kidney area and my neck and throat are swollen. I'm sure I have left something out as far as the symptoms but I can guarantee you that I WILL NOT be continueing this medication! I am very glad this site exists to help those of us recognize similarities from this drug that we otherwise might have spent no telling how long trying to find out what's causing these symptoms! The travesty in this is that we cannot depend on our own doctors to stand up for OUR well-being as opposed to catering to the drug companies or just plain out being uninformed, neglectful malpractitioners!
