I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE! I HAVE BEEN ON LISINOPRIL 10mg NOW FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS AND FOR MOST OF THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE MOST HORRIBLE, CROUPY COUGH. IT STARTS AS A TICKLE IN THE THROAT, THEN I AM AWARE OF PHLEGM IN THE THROAT AND THE COUGHING THAT FOLLOWS COULD BE DESCRIBED AS 'VIOLENT'AND NOT A LITTLE SCARY! THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY; I CAN BE SUDDENLY WOKEN UP BY COUGHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, PRODUCING A LARGE AMOUNT OF PHLEGM AND EXPERIENCING A DREADFUL WRACKING, CHOKING SENSATION AND SOMETIMES THIS WILL TAKE MINUTES TO CLEAR. I SELDOM AM ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE PHONE WITHOUT THE CONVERSATION BEING LIBERALLY PEPPERED WITH APOLOGETIC, RASPY COUGHS. THE SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY OF THE COUGH IS ALWAYS WORSE TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY, AND OFTEN LEADS TO A TIGHT, SORE FEELING IN THE CHEST. I HAVE TWICE BEEN TO SEE THE DR WITH THESE SYMPTOMS, AND HAVE BEEN SENT FOR CHEST X-RAYS AND GIVEN ANTIBIOTICS. THE FINDINGS ARE ALWAYS NEGATIVE AND THE SYMPTOMS HAVE NEVER BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO LISINOPRIL. HAVING READ OF THE SYMPTOMS OTHER LISINOPRIL USERS ARE EXPERIENCING, I AM CONVINCED THAT IN MY CASE AT LEAST, LISINOPRIL IS THE CAUSE OF THIS DREADFUL COUGH, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, ACHY LIMBS. I PLAN TO SEE THE DR YET WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND WILL MENTION THIS WEBSITE AND THE SIMILARITIES OTHER PATIENTS ON LISINOPRIL HAVE EXPERIENCED. SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! I WILL BE REQUESTING A CHANGE OF MEDICATION PDQ!
