I had numeous symptoms, lots of shortness of breath. I had some strange heart feelings, like weakness or skipping a beat. To make a long story short, I paid more attention to my mineral intake, and especially for the heart, magnesium, which helped a lot. For a very long time after quitting the drug, if I stopped taking supplements with magnesium, these heart problems would return after a few days to a week. I think that among other things, this drug affects the body's mineral supplies and balances along with its ability to utilize them properly, both during drug usage as well as long after. The result seems to be a long term increased need for nutrition especially of the minerals.
HI,
I have had this symptom too. I have been on 5 mg of Lisinopril for the last 5 weeks. I noticed that it sometimes feels like I have 2 heartbeats going at the same time especially in the upper chest and throat area. I also noticed that after I take a dose, I feel light-headed and my heart beat seems to speed up and pound noticeably--almost like I could see my chest moving- but not always. You are not nuts. I know this is from the meds, since I do not take any other medications.
I am going to go off this medication after reading these posts.
Good luck to you.
