I was taken off of norvas which worked fine for me and put on Lisinopril. I must monitor my pressure and can not eat anything with salt, not even pizza or go out to eat. My pressure will sky rocket from 110/75 to 170/90
which is a death trap for me. I had nausea, dirrea and severe headaches. The med is helping another condition that I suffer from low possitum. But as far as a blood pressure med for me. It does not work. I am considered salt sensitive I think the medication is the worst. It seems like all the doctors all over are pushing this medication all of a sudden?

yes I have. Was taken off norvas which was great for my BP and put on Lisinopril. I notice, I can not eat anything with a small amount and I mean small amount of sodium. Can't go out to dinner anymore or eat a pizza. My pressure will sky rocket from 115/75 to 170/90. I ended up in the ER. Blurred vision, nausea, and running to the toilet. I was put on this med for my low potassium. It will probably work for this condition. But not for the Blood Pressure. It is terrible. One can have a stroke from this med he they are not aware what is going on.

I have terrible stomach cramps and feel as though my bladder is full. It comes and goes. Im not taking this medication anymore. It also makes you feel tired and restless. I can't take these stomach pains.
