I have been on Lisinopril for about 5-6 weeks now. I developed a cough immediately after I began the medication. It wakes me up everynight, so I am always tired. Sometimes I cough for a couple of hours. I've had to sleep on the couch for the last month, so I don't wake my husband. It's very annoying. I also have a "lump" sensation in my throat and it feels like someone is pressing their thumb against it, like being choked. My right side has just recently started hurting a little, but no leg or hip pain.
