Started taking lisinopril April 6th of this year. Have had many of the symptoms listed in these posts. I just thought I was still having symptoms from being sick. I have had a lot of anxiety and depression, as well as chest pain and heart palpitations. My hands were ice cold and had severe stomach pain. My head felt very cloudy and numb. I have had every blood test possible, 2 EKG's, a brain MRI, cervical MRI and brain MRA, and a chest x-ray. So far, everything is normal. I saw this site a few weeks ago and on June 8th, I stopped taking lisinopril. I have started feeling better, not completely, but definitely better. I am supposed to go back to my doctor on the 29th. He did not agree with me that these symptoms could all be caused from this drug. He reluctantly agreed that I get off it for these 3 weeks. I am still taking Hydrochlorot with no symptoms. Not sure what to tell him when I go back. Are any of the other blood pressure drugs safe???

no drugs are totally safe. my southern friend suggests putting moss in your shoes and walking around with it in there. she says that normalizes blood pressure in a few days.

I was levaque for months , for sinsus infections that were not going away. i started having bad side affects with my heart, chest pains where i could not get a breath in that would last up to 10 mins sometime, and i had all of the things above that you had mentioned. i went up to the E room and they did ekgs xray, blood clot tests and stress tests everything came out normal, but i was still having pains. i have been off the meds for about 1 months and they have slowly went away, but im still having big
issues with my sinus and i can't take anything for it cause of allerigies. This has not been good and i would never tell anyone to take this med. the meds also messed with my tendons that made my body sore. i just went to the ent yesterday and they had told me that i kind od infection i have levaque would not even treat but only make it worst and feed off the infection i was dealing with. i am no longer going back to my pcare doctor and i guess i have to decide if i need the sinus surgery.
