I have been taking lisinopril for about four months and my doctor increased my meds to 20mg from 10mg. Everything was fine except the tiredness so I take it at night before bed or I could not stay awake during the day. Then I wole up with numb feet one morning and just thought it was nothing as i get swelling when the weather gets warm. well the numbness is still there two weeks later. It is very uncomfortable and is moving up my legs and my arms and legs feel very tired and weak. Last night I counted the pills remaining from the last prescription refill and sure enough the amount left coinsides with the last refill, which by the way is a different manufacturer because the pills are a different color, shape and size. I went to the doctor this week and am waiting for the blood test results. I should know today. I am active and walk five days a week and work out at the Y three times a week. Has anyone else had funny feet problems?

I have been looking at side effects too. My fingers both are tingly and numb by morning when i wake up and I am experienceing muscle cramps during the daytime.

I have read that these are possible side effects.... I hope my gets better as my bodt gets used to the lisinopril/hctz.

Anyone having numbness should get off this medication ASAP. A number of the side effects of this drug are very long lasting if not permanent. It will only get worse and spread too. Don't try to wait it out by keeping with the medication. That would be a huge mistake!!!
