Alright, listen. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for those who have found this site. My story was posted on June 20th. I would have to say that I cannot trust any doctors for anything since then. This web site has saved me money from the idiot doctors and my insanity. Really. It is so scary that when you go to the doctor they will never investigate your meds you are taking and will send you through many tests and prescribe you medicine that you don't need. I went through 4 different doctors multiple times that prescribed many different things with no effect to my condition. I went off Lisinopril and went back on Diovan and it took 8 days before I noticed any improvement. During those 8 days I got more depressed because I didn't feel any better. Then my symptoms started going away. My anxiety and coughing started to decrease. By the second week i did not need the help of sleeping pills to knock me out due to the anxiety at night and the gagging and coughing decreased.Since then I am almost back to normal. I still though have some symptoms of coughing, but not that bad. If you found this site and taking Lisinopril, please take note that your doctor is probably wrong. You are not going to die. Get off the da#m med and start living again. It may take longer than me. Don't get discouraged.It may take more than a month or so. Stay strong. I am pissed off and would love to beat the s&it out of the ones that created Lisinopril. I know we are the small % that has the effects, but get it off the market. People are dead from this med and the others are going though Hell......I feel for the ones who have had family members that have died from allergic reactions. I had an undiagnosed throat swelling that took me to the ER. I know what it was now...Take care, stay strong, get off Lisinopril, enjoy the rest of your life...

I take this medicine and I have been feeling funny the last month. Dizzy,sleepy,coughing,cramps etc. he put me on lasix too and I take potassuim plus magnesuim to help me out. After reading all of this I wonder if its this medicine. I used to use diovan but he put me on this med cause of the insurance

Why are you on the lasix? Do you have edema from heart failure? I took Diovan for a long time and only switched to Lisinopril because it was cheaper. That is when my symptoms began and got worse week by week. I'll say one thing. If you didn't have these symptoms before while taking Diovan then get the heck off of it. You said it was for insurance reasons. Was you going for cheaper or does your insurance don't pay for Diovan?

Oh my gosh, I was put on Lisinopril 10 mg because of my white coat syndrome, When I am in the office, my BP goes up 20 or more points. I go to wal-mart or my own machine I am 124 over 71. I kept telling them but they said to take it. I only took it for 5 days, and coughed for 2 weeks after(I do have asthma but never cough all night) plus I was always anxious, would wake up worried if I was going to die. I never do this otherwise. Chest tightness, again thought it was asthma, but when I got off it, no more symptoms. I am also on Potassium because I am on Lozol 5. So everything relates to each other. I am going to stop the lozol and potassium, all of this is because of white coat syndrome, as that is when i first had to start taking Lozol.I am a 67 year old woman.
