My Mom was on another medication for blood pressure and since her blood pressure was still high, Lisinopril was added. She had the same result with elevating of her pressure to dangerous levels, instead of lowering. At least she did not get the extreme symptoms your husband did. She ended up fatigued, felt "not normal" and wound up with the cough that has now persisted for over 2 months.
