I must have an angel watching over me, because for the life of me I do not know how I came across this website. I have been taking lisinopril 20mg with HCTZ12.5 for about 2 years. I have felt like I was going to have a heart attach, the bloating is driving me nuts, tired because lack of sleep and some times just plain can't sleep at night, leg cramps and now my vision seems to be getting worse. I have had all the symptoms at one time or another. I am going to be 57 years old in October and I am about 30-35 over weight. But I do walk and ride my bike and do other exercises. We just did a very small job landscaping and I could hardly walk or lift my arms for about 4 days. Muscles were so sore. And I didn't do that much to have that my muscles ache that badly. On both sides of my ankles are like little fat pockets, the doctor said it was not water retention, I now have swelling under my eyes. ??? Thank you to everyone for being posting. I need to talk to my doctor and get off this stuff. I recently forgot to take my medication on a 3 day vacation and when I got home I feeling pretty darn good, as soon as I started taking the meds for 2 or so days I was back to feeling that yuky feeling

You need a doctor that knows about the alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. Try an ACAM doctor. Type ACAM into your Google search.

You're taking an ACE inhibitor and there are many natural substances that do the same thing which is relax the vessels so blood can pass through easier. Try L-Arginine 2 - 3 grams per day or more if needed. There are many studies that show it works on lowering blood pressure and there are positive benefits in addition to lowering blood pressure such as the nitric oxide that is produced. Good health to you!
