I had a terrible cough.Constant and very dry and hacking. Making sleeping impossible. Working impossible.My life was turned to mush.The coughs were very heavy and causing my throat to swell and feel extremely dry no matter how much I drank.I developed acute tonsillitis. I needed antibiotics to clear up.I have a fever and was sicker than I can ever remember.I called the doctor and told her I never had any of the coughing until taking this med.then I read it is common. Why in the ---- would any doctor prescribe such a horrible drug.?? I have never had a heart attack and only had slight blood pressure issues. Sometimes it gets a bit high. Not often. Doctors are drug pushers for the pharma companies.I have no respect left for this doctor.And will never go back.

I took Lisinopril for five years and I had all of these side effects. These side effects sneak up on you. I was told I had GERD that is why I was coughing.I was told the muscles aches were from being overweight. I was told the rashes were from an insulin disorder.
I lost my dream job, as it was a telephone job.I couldn't talk for one minute without hacking violently. I became almost a hermit carrying water every where I went. I refused to travel on an airplane cause people would stare at you like you had TB.
There are currently 14 million Americans on Lisinopril. Now that it is a 4 dollar drug, they are really pushing it.
