Update and a question: I posted about a week ago about some of the side effects I was experiencing from lisinopril: -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 stopped taking it a little over week ago and my doctor wants to start me on diovan. After my experience with lisinopril, I want to wait a little while before starting a new med. So my question is, how long does it take to get lisinopril completely out of your system? I've felt some of the same side effects recently (slight dizziness, some discomfort in back and chest area). But that was after working in the Texas sun for a couple of hours in the morning. (I've heard that lots of sweating and dehydration can increase some of the side effects of lisinopril.) Can anyone tell me your experiences after getting off lisinopril?
