Oh my goodness, I am so glad to meet all of you!!!! I thought that I was either crazy or becoming a hypocondriac. I began taking 5mg of Lisinopril about 3 weeks ago. Other than a very slight dry cough, I was fine. Next doctor's visit one week later found that my BP had not gone down at all so my meds were upped to 20mg. Immediately, I began to have headaches, dizziness, confusion, I am weak as a newborn kitten,my kids have to take me to the store and babysit me because I feel like I could faint at any moment, Severe upper backaches and my legs feel like I've walked a marathon after only a few steps.The cough is the least of my worries. Also the distended abdomen and heartburn. I told my husband today that I would rather die than have to feel like this for the rest of my life. I've always been such a strong woman and now I can't even brush my daughter's hair without resting. I also am getting depressed and I am quick to yell at everyone or no one at all!!!!! I've called my doctor and of course it is her day off. I'm in such pain. It's also hard to type because my sweat is falling onto the keyboard and puddling. Not really but that's how it feels. Someone commented to me today that they remember how it was to be going through menopause. I just smiled. I'm on my period!!!
