been on Lisinopril for several days as my old medication (Coreg) was too expensive since I am off my previous insurance program. This medication is the pits to say the least. I have been gasping for air and having a problem breathing. Also, i am having chest pain, palps and tightness. Had to go on the web to see about the side effects. I have been exhausted and almost too tired to check on the side effects. Glad I did. My husband had been on Lisinopril for over a year and his temper is out of control. He is very edgy to say the least. Since there are so many side effects involved with Lisinopril, the doctors need to be made aware. It appears the manufacturers of this drug are not educating the doctors concerning the side effects. If doctors won't listen, find one that will.

zingy - the generic for Coreg is cardevilol, which costs $4.00 for 30 days, and/or $10.00 for 90 days. Insist that your doctor get you a prescription for this - I am on it right now, and take lisinopril as well. The Coreg is a beta-blocker, and the lisinopril is a vaso-dilator. They work well in tandem for me, and you apparently don't have a doctor who knows what you need. Get someone who does - like a cardiologist.
