I have taken this drug, Lisinopril, for only 3 days straight. On the third day, I began to have sweats and became very weak and exhausted. I felt as if I had a heavy weight upon my chest that prevented me from getting the oxygen, I felt I needed, but couldn't get through normal breath. I became faint and my vision was slightly blurred. I also felt my feet as being quite cold during the night, although, my partner said, that my body temperature felt normal. I'm not taking this medication as of today. I feel normal this morning, and want to continue to do so. I have previously been able to bring down my High Blood pressure by drinking fresh juices, doing a detox diet with the eating of fresh fruit and veggies, doing warm infrared saunas for a few days to bring my high blood pressure down naturally. Taking this medication was an experiment, and I will take the safer, more natural way to control my high blood pressure.

This seems to me to be a very radical and ill-advised way to go about stopping this medication, that is, without the advice of a doctor. The symptoms you describe could indeed be related to any underlying vascular problem, concievably heart disease. A "heavy weight upon my chest" could very well be symptoms of heart disease, as could the sweats and weakness. The alternative remedies you describe make me wonder why you started this "experiment" in the first place.
