When I first started on 10mg of Lisinoprill, I immediately noticed a weird kind of sore throat. Not like the sore throat you get from a cold or the flu, but rather, the muscles around the adam's apple were sore, and it always hurt to swallow. Also, my BP did not go down very much. And pulse was twice as fast as normal.
So, my dose was doubled. After one day, my throat closed in a violent spasm which scared the hell out of me. After that, my throat really hurt, as though someone had hit me in the throat with a Karate chop. It actually hurts to touch, right below the point of the adam's apple.
And still my BP was dangerously high. I borrowed a Tenormin 100mg and within 30 minutes, my BP and pulse were at texbook normal.
I will never take another lisinopril. I think it is a horrible drug.
