I have been taking Lisinopril for several years. I am 52 years ol...

I just started taking lisinopril yesterday. I have the jitters and mild sweating I took the pill 6 hours ago and now I am experiencing light headed ness as well my dosage is 12.5 mg once a day. I have been advise to load up on protein any thoughts?

I had a fair amount of sweating that my doctor decided was psycological but later I reasoned it was due to the lisinopril.

I also have had some problems with night sweats, especially around the neck, which I have found are associated with some of the low thyroid problems and the shortness of breath caused by lisinopril.

I think the minerals are the key to recovery of problems from lisinoprill.

Hi,
I just read your side effects to lisinopril, I am experiencing the worst sweats I have ever felt in my life I just started this pill on 10/20 while I was in the hospital for chest pains. Yesterday (Sunday 11-4) was the day I stopped taking this crap. Last night I cold not sleep, my hands & feet were itching so bad and the hot flashes were still pretty strong. However, today, the symptoms are starting to go away. I still feel achy, bloated,and sweaty but can actually see a change. I did not know tis was snake venum. I am highly allergic to everything and I'm glad that I decided on my own what was wrong. Then I come and find all these same side effects amoung us lab rats. I suggest you get off the pill ASAP. I am seing my doc tomorrow & will be leting her know I will not takeny other pills. I will finda alternative. It really makes you wonder, what are they thinking?
