Had a heart attack in July and had a stent put in blocked artery. Prior to that I was taking Cartia for blood pressure. Cardiologist switched me to Lisinopril. I've been having severe pain in my lower back on both sides and also around my rib cage. I'm in cardiac rehab and today my nurse/therapist told me they are increasing Lisinopril from 10 mg to 20 mg. After reading posts on this site, I'm a bit concerned.

I am still suffering from rib cage pain after 3 months off of Lisinopril.
They can't give me a diagnosis. I started going to to holistic doctor and he said I had yeast overgrowth. After being treated for yeast, I am starting to feel better. The rib pain left after 3 days. I was worked up for gallbladder and shingles.My chest xray did show some kind of lung infection.
This will also cause kidney pain on both sides. I would talk to the doctor first.
