I would like to give you all hope!! I, too, was on lisinopril for about 2 weeks and it was horrible. It lowered my blood pressure, but had so many horrible side effects, not to mention the cough which I still can't quite get rid of 5 weeks later. I am 43 years old, and have run 5 marathons, 6'1" and weighed 195 and ate decently. Like the guy a couple of messages earlier, I went on the dash diet and added a multivitamin and magnesium supplement and it has changed my life. Normal blood pressure, no meds, and I lost 10 lbs, without trying to. There are many books and articles with the dash diet, so I don't think it's too important which one you get. I hope this helps some of you.
