I just happened to do some research about lisinopril, and happened to stumble into this website. I am 43 years old, newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetics, i also have a history of hypertension and migraine which is under control. my physician just switch my medication from Norvasc to lisinopril, Im already on my 3rd week of taking it, 20mg a day, however, i noticed that i have more frequent headaches, more of a migraine headache that pulsate in one side of my head, i tried taking some over the counter medicine, but with no relief, i went back to see my doctor, and i was given some sumatriptan for the migraine, but at the back of my mind, i already suspected that the lisinopril might have triggered my migraine headaches, i have a relief when i take the sumatriptan, however the migraines keeps coming back. and its been seven days already, i was not able to work one day, because the migraine made me nauseated and vomit. i was doing well with my other medication, and never had migraine like this that last for 7 days up to now.after reading the comments. i have second thought of taking this medication.it seem like it might be the one that triggers my migraine headache. what do you think?

This drug can cause MANY side effects. There are natural products/alternatives for health issues . . . why give your $$ to drug co's ?? I suggest that you read some of the posts.

first thing- get rid of your type 2 diabetes. if your doctor tells you that you can't get rid of it, don't listen to him. it's a dietary thing and you can completely correct it.
as long as you have type 2 diabetes, doctors are going to put you on drugs. it's that simple. that's what they do. the drugs will give you other problems and the doctor will give you more drugs to deal with those problems, etc, etc
one day you'lll wake up, sick and miserable, old beyond your years and you'll wonder how you got to this terrible place. since you are "newly diagnosed" if you can get rid of it now, you will spare yourself a lot of misery
