I'm 57, female and have been taking Lisinopril since July. The cough appeared quickly, then the fatigue. Now I am experiencing the joint pain mainly in my fingers, shoulders, knees and toes. Occasionally I get shortness of breath and the fluttery heart palpitations . My blood pressure is way down though and I've been feeling more light headedness lately. I'm going for a follow up with the doctor and will discuss these symptoms with him and see what he says. My dosage is 12.5mg.

the LHCT gave me an extreme form of muscle and brain fatigue. I could not hold a wire coat hanger at shoulder level for even two seconds. I suddenly developed daily pain in my neck as I worked at my desk. I also had extreme brain fatigue and a sort of dull headache in my forehead area. Oh, and the metallic smell/taste. I guess you could say I “knew I was taking it!” My doctor grew irritated and said to me three times that LHCT could not cause the fatigue I had observed in my body. Needless to say, I am not taking it anymore. I am eating fewer salty snacks, cooking with sea salt, and taking magnesium and potassium supplements instead.
