Been on lisinopril for about a year for high bp. Seems to help. Don't have a cough and don't seem to be feeling weak or sluggish. Do have a burning sensation on the tip of my tongue and a couple of really sore bumps have come and gone on the last few weeks. Also, I am now developing may little red cherry like blood blisters on my body just about everywhere. I've had the dermatologist look at them and he called them some kind of skin cherry and nothing to worry about. I know they are somewhat genetic and my father has a few but I am getting hundreds of them and it has been within the last 6 months. I was told this medicine dialated the artery going into the kidneys to relieve pressure. Wonder if it is dialating capalaries in my skin causing these cherrys? Anybody else got 'em?

I am 71 and had a few cherry anginomas on my body. Doc put me on 5mg lisinopril bk bp was l40/80. Within 3 weeks I had a splattering of new cherry spots on my legs, back, arms, and chest! Called the doc and he said don't take anymore pills. I stopped after 3 weeks, no new spots but also quit the doc.

I am on Lisinopril and Cartia XT for hypertension. I also have the little red spots. Just a few though. My fiance also has them and he's on two total different BP meds. It seems it is a side effect of most of them. It's not just from Lisinopril.
