Looks like I might be the only one praising Lisinopril on this forum. I am a 52 year old woman and up until this past year was a very physically active person. I developed high blood pressure suddenly and went on Toprol to help control it. I had been on 100 mg of Toprol for blood pressure that was ranging around 158/98. On the Toprol I experienced angina and terrible fatigue, and puffiness around my midsection. After a heart catheter revealed no blockage, I was put on 5 mg Toprol and 10 mg Lisinopril. The change was dramatic. I was able to go up and down stairs at work with no problem, my blood pressure dropped to 110/78 and I feel wonderful. I also have lost about 8 lbs. in "water weight" around my middle and can fit in my pants again. For me, Lisinopril was a Godsend.
