Lisinopril causes burning and tingling sensations in your feet (peripheral neuropathy). The neurologist insists that the Lisinopril simply "unmasked" a hidden glucose problem. My primary physician does not understand what that means. I have stopped taking the drug. It has been over a year and the side effects remain. I tried 10 sessions of acupuncture which seemed to alleviate some of the pain & discomfort in my heels and middle of the feet. I have started a treatment of folic acid, B1 & B12. I also recommend diet & exercise. I was prescribed gapapentin by the neurologist; it alleviates the side effects but does "cure" it.

Do some research on Alpha Lipoic Acid. ALA is very good for peripheral neurapathy. Dont take that Neurontin, it is very dangerous and can cause seizures.
This drug is brutal and it destroys your immune system totally.
There is hope though with the different supplements.
You should definitely be taking a zinc supplement. You should also be seen by a holistic doctor.
