Lisinopril is poison, literally!!!! I have had high blood pressure in the past and recently it became a bit too high. My doctor placed me on Lisinopril. I am 41 years old and have NEVER had any problems with my heart rate. After just 5 days of taking this poison I had to be rushed to the hospital with a heart rate of 178 bpm!!!! 2 days later I have intense kidney pain. I am glad I found this site to answer my questions. My cardiologist's nurse's response when I asked her if the Lisinopril caused my kidney pain "Oh no, it couldn't be the medicine". The ER doctor's response when I asked him if Lisionpril could have caused the rapid heart rate "Oh no, it couldn't be the medicine". What are these people on????????? It's like the work for the medicine companies! I can't wait to show the nurse all of the stuff I have printed out about Lisinopril.....No one should ever take this poison, ever!!!!!!!! Stop before you take it and don't take it. It has even killed people before from kidney failures. Read up about it first, I wish I had..........now I am stuck with it in my system and don't know how long before it comes out completely.

My doctor prescribed Lisinopril for me today, along with Lasix and Potassium. I have always had very low blood pressure, but for some reason my pressure went up very high, along with swelling of feet and ankles. The swelling has gone down and pressure back to normal. My Dr. still wants me to take Lisinopril so I got the prescription but will not have it filled after reading the side effects. Yes, the doctors are brain washed by the pharmaceutical companies and we in turn have to suffer because the doctors do not believe we experience these problems. Guess we have to be our own doctors and know what is best for us.
