WOW!! I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this site and learned about all the side effects from lisinopril. I've been on lisinopril since about January of this year...12.5 mg. Been back to see the doc 3X since i've been on it. I complained about chest pain and coughing. I've had EKG done on me 3X (including the one done recently when I checked my self in at the ER at 2:30am) also did the treadmill stress test. I've also been referred to and did see a pulmonary specialist where they checked my lung capacity/function due to the shortness of breath. I've been friggin joggin' 7 days a week for 3 months (used to do 3X/wk) to combat the fatigue, shortness of breath, tickly & scratchy throat causing me to cough to try to clear it, tingly arms and legs, chest pain (kinda like pressure or cramping, real discomfort)...and yes, i feel like my days are numbered. It's been such a life altering experience. I'm stopping lisinopril starting today. I hope the chest pain will get better. Will post again in a few days and let you all know how I feel. Thank you all again for taking the time to post your experiences. God bless!

I am anxious to hear how you are doing since you stopped the lisinopril? i have been taking it for 30 days now after an a stent implant. I am 58 150 athletic type who runs 2 or 3 times a week for years. since i started the lisinopril 30 days ago i have pain daily across the chest ( shoulder to shoulder) and shortness of breath, even if i walk out of my office down the hall. Also what appears to be sore shoulder muscles and a daily headache. I asked y doctor about side effects and he said he had not had any problems with his patients. I am very curious if youi are better since stopping the drug.
