I started taking Lisinopril on 12/07/06 and my BP went down immediately from 140/90 to about 110/70. That night, I noticed the dry mouth. Then, I had the coughing that everyone talks about. I also had burning in the chest. I went off Lisinopril completely on 12/26/06. I still suffer from mild chest discomfort which worried me so I went and had an ECG and blood tests done. Results were negative. I hope that this chest discomfort goes away as I've read in a previous post that it takes some time for side effects to go away. Surprisingly, my BP has remained at about 125/80 even without the medication.
