I was recently prescribed 10 mg lisinopril for borderline hypertension. the first 2 days I felt better and my blood pressure went from 160/106 to 124/76 in 3 days. But also on day 3, I have developed a hoarseness and I feel extremely tired adn depressed. The calves of my legs feel like they weigh 50 lbs each, they feel heavy. I don't think I will take anymore of it and contact my doctor for a change in medication. I am glad I came across this website.

Hi there. I was reading your post about the side effects you are having and I just wanted to say how thankful I am to read your post because it made me realize that the recent hoarseness in my voice could be from the Lisinopril. I kept thinking how odd it was that my voice would become hoarse and wondered what was causing it. The first month that I started this medication, I had no problem but now I am getting swollen calfs, ankles and feet and they feel extremely stiff. Here I go again looking for a better HBP medication for the 3rd time. I wish you luck in finding what works best for you.
