Been taking 10 mg of Lisinopril for about 3 months now for BP that was 160/70...Last reading was 130/70...BUT for the last 5 weeks I have experienced stomach upset followed by an Upper Respiratory Infection whcih took 4 weeks to resolve followed by muscle weakness in my arms and legs followed by urinary issues (too much urination, too little, urine color change, etc. Before these episodes I had not even had a clod in years...Any connection to Lisinopril???

Has anyone replied to you about these problems? I hope that you have stopped the lisinopril. I began taking this medication about three weeks ago. I had many strange symptoms some of which, muscle weekness or heaviness in legs and arms, chills, infections and of course urinary retention (which is basically not being able to urinate at all). I went to ER twice and to the urologist. None of these doctors thought that my urinary retention was a cause of the lisinipril, however, I disagreed. That symptom started a day after I started the meds and I know my body pretty well. I told my pcp to take me off the lisinopril and he prescribed me something else today. So, I have to go back to the urologist to get another cathyder (excuse my spelling) and wait a few days until the meds are out of my system. Best of luck to you and thanks for the helping post about your issues with this drug. Hopefully the FDA will give a second thought to this drug.
