I have been on this medication for 3 months now. I am a 28 year o...

I am male, 68. I'm taking Lisinopril 5mg for only 3 days. This is the
first medication I've ever been prescribed. Previous BP 140/85.
Now 105/70. I still run 15 mi/week. My endurance has improved.
Initially, I experienced numbness in hands,feet,face. Also cold
& tingling hands. As of today numbness & tingling is only in last
2 fingers & lateral edges of both palms. I'm considering cutting the pill
in half & taking it twice a day to avoid side effects. After 8 hours
problems dissappear. I'm surprised the lowest dosage is so powerful.

Glad to know that you have joined the sane ones and stopped this med :)))

Yes, I have had headaches, head pain, numb fingers,toes leg all kind of stuff
when I tell the dr. he tells me I have to allow the medication to get in my system. I am on coreg 10 mg . I have headaches while sleeping most of the time..... To tell the truth it seems like it raised my pressure instead of lowering it .......

I was on till 3 weeks ago, Simvastin, I took myself off it after 3 years, I din'tr feel that that was giving me cold feet, hands, I was going to the shower just to keep warm?
My hands of a morning I cannot make a fist with, when I do manage it I can hardly open my fingers again?
The pains are in my feet, my calf muscles and now a new one in my side and back, a terrific red hot pain?
Out of breath I never was but am now.
Over the last few weeks I have taken cholestral lowering natural drinks, almost zero fats to get my level down.
I have noticed my heart beat is now down to 58 at rest and my blood pressure is 115/72, normal they say is 120/80?
I was never advised how to reduce choolestral at first the doctor just put me straight onto this statin, are they paid for pushing this drug at all?
I will give it 3 more weks and go for a chemist check on my levels, if they are down I will go for a confirmation with the quack and deal with my own health in future?

..adding to above post, I didn't add that my libido is now at zero...THANKS SIMVASTIN, it's now a male contraceptive pill?-Anyone else experienced this at all?-I am normally at it straight away, but now I don't feel a man any more in bed!

My husband was cold all the time especially the last few months he took Lisinopril. He had a horrible rash, he felt sick and very weak and eventually developed a cough (this from a man I have rarely heard cough at all). He was just not himself. I'm so glad he's off the medication.

D.R.

Me too. 53 year old male, athletic, proper weight, but BP was edging up to 140/85. Started 10mg Lisinopril 4 weeks ago. BP down to 115/73 avg. Weather turned cold, and I noticed my feet were extremely sensitive after being outside 15-20min- toes numb, took about 10 min to warm. Fingers got numb too. Happened twice now. I'm feeling cold quite often now, and have to dress very warmly to go outside. Also starting to feel tingling in arms and legs.
