I have been on Lisinopril for approx 3 mths. It was prescribed for additional swelling in my feet. The Dr said along with my other two BP reducing meds this would help w/the swelling. After 6 weeks on the medication, I develpped a constant dry hacking cough that caused me to see stars, and on occassion, I "leaked" and started wearing bladder control pads. The cough could wake me out of a sound sleep with no warning. Sometimes I coughed so hard, the back of my neck would hurt. I didn't make the connection to the Lisinopril, becasue I had been on it for 6 weeks. I had a recheck w/my Dr 12/12/06 and told her of the cough. She immediatly told me to stop taking the Lisinopril. I was abit taken aback, just cold turkey I asked her. Yes, she said, in a few days you'll thank me for it. It's only been two days, and I see no difference yet.......guess it has to work it's way out of my system. As a "PS" to the side affects, the manufactor should add, "possible DELAYED cough my result"
