I have intense pressure in my head, left front lobe. Had MRI and MRA and all was normal. OK on lisinopril for many years at 10MG when it was the little blue football shaped pill. Then, they switched it to a white hexagon shaped pill in January of 2008. That's when the pressure in my head started. When to GP and Neurologist and could find nothing wrong. Told to go to a holistic healer and laughed off that it could be lisinopril related. When I stop the lisinopril the headache goes away. When I take it just one time to test the headache comes back.

I have very similiar problem! Found this site searching headache lisinopril. I used to take lisinopril for about 2 years, no problem, lowered my blood prssure (10mg). Then I stopped for a little less than a year (lost insurance). Now I started taking it again and WHAMMO, about 1 hour after taking it INTENSE front lobe/sinus? headache. I stopped taking and DUH no more headaches. What should we do??

Bottom line is that we need to be on HBP medication. We need to go back to our Dr.'s and get on another med. I wish I knew what the best one was.
