thank god I found this sight! Tossed my Lisinopril in the trash can. I have been on it for about 8 months. I suffer from allergies and thought nothing of the cough/ tickle that I was experiencing....Except that it got worse, and never went away. My husband complained about my coughing at night. My boss was always telling me to go to a doctor ( which i did- and said it was allergies) and everyone in general got tired of hearing me cough/hack all the time. Then I started having really bad coughing fits. I cough so bad, I thought I would pass out. The whites of my eyes would turn blood red. Sometimes I would be close to vomitting. It was awful to be in a meeting at work and start one of these coughing fits. It sounded awful, and everyone looks at you while you helplessly sit there coughing your brains out. Screw it. I can't live like this. I am overweight. I know losing weight will help my bp alot, and have been working out some. I've lost 10lbs, but could stand to lose another 50. I'm now more motivated to work on this.
