I was prescribed 5 mg. Lisinopril at the end of September. It took a couple of months for the cough to develop but it came on very suddenly and uncontrollably. I would have to bring bottled water and cough drops with me everywhere because it would come on so quickly. The doctor said it was bronchitis and prescribed zithromax. Still no relief from the cough. I was also having lightheadedness, joint pain and numbness in my fingers. I went back to the doctor after another month of coughing and was prescribed more zithromax and tussionex cough medicine ($50 a bottle) and was diagnosed with a winter cold even though I told the doctor I had no cold symptoms. I called the doctor after finishing the antibiotics and told her the cough was still the same. She wanted to give me yet another dose of zithromax which I said I didn't want because I did not feel sick and did not want to keep taking antibiotics so she told me she would give me an RX for allergy medicine which I never picked up. At this point I was so upset I went for a second opinion and was immediately taken off the Lisinopril. It took a little more than 2 weeks but the cough and all the other symptoms have now completely disappeared. I trusted this doctor but my body was telling me that something was not right and I'm glad I finally found out it was the lisinopril.
