This is an update on the problems I had while on lisinopril that I posted Nov.12. It took 2 more weeks off of the drug before my rash completely disappeared. The stomach and chest pains also took this long to stop. Lisinopril was definitely the cause-probably because of my severe sulfa allergy (which my doctor was aware of). It was my pharmacist that told me about the connection between sulfa allergy and lisinopril reaction. My doctor had no idea about this. He said wheezing would be the usual reaction to lisinopril! I'll always check with the pharmacist concerning allergic problems before I start a new medication. I do feel great now!
