I have been taking Lisinopril for some years now. First 5mg daily, then 10mg. I suffer from white coat syndrome i.e. my B.P soars when I get it taken at the doctor's. It has been as high as 198/122. I bought a B.P measure - the sort where you wrap a cuff round your arm. My husband has learnt how to take my B.P. & it is now usually around 120/70. As far as side effects go I have these: cough; depression; anxiety; weight gain; hair thinning; memory loss; searching for words. ice cold feet, head sweats. I am 59 and don't know how many of these symptoms I would be showing anyway. A lot of women of my age who are not on lisinopril have thinning hair, gain weight and forget words. They also have hot flushes. This is the trouble you don't know exactly whether it's the drugs or not. anybody want to reply to this?
