I can't tell you all how glad I am that I found this web site. I've been taking 10mg Lisinopril daily for about ten months now (for slightly high bp). Beginning last October, I started feeling the following symptoms off and on: -lightheadedness (including one fainting spell) -some discomfort and tightness in my chest -difficulty breathing (when this happened, I would force myself to breathe deeply and usually found that I was breathing OK ... just felt like I wasn't always getting enough air) -feelings of panic -muscle pain in back and neck -diarrhea I've never really had any previous health problems and I've never suffered from anxiety or panic attacks. I saw my doctor several different times about these issues. When it first started, my wife wondered if it had something to do with the medication. My doctor (who I really like) said 10 mg is not enough to really do much of anything. Since I've been on it, my bp has been great. And I knew 10 mg wasn't very much. I believed that the medication wasn't causing it. So I went through the series of tests: -MRI was normal -blood tests were normal -repeated EKGs were normal -chest x-rays were normal -stress test was normal My doctor started thinking it was something mental and talked to me about ways to reduce stress and anxiety. But I knew there was something going on. Then I found this site. I stopped taking Lisinopril yesterday and am talking to my doctor about changing to something else. Thanks, all!
