Lisinopril and blood count

Hi,
A cardiologist prescribed Lisnopril 10mg for me three days ago because my BP was above 160/90 even though I was taking HCTZ. All day yestersday, I was extremely energyless. I went to the gym to see my trainer, but could not lift a finger to exercise. I feel like I have a fever, but I do not have one. I've had headache since yesterday. I slept 10 hours last night, but woke up still extremely tired and unable to function properly. I have dizziness, uneasiness, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest area, and I feel strain around my eyes. Today, I went to the emergency room, because I knew something was seriously wrong with my heart or that my blood count was low. There was nothing. After reviewing several postings on this site, I realize these are side effects of Lisinopril. As of today, I am off this. I wil see my physician on Monday. Hopefully, she will understand.

My husband has been taking lisinopril 2.5 mg since 4-5-06, he has experienced various side effects to which his doctor simply sends him to a neurologist and then after the visist with the neurologist he is told its normal. He has experienced a sudden feeling of his blood pulse in his left side of his neck, he also has a feeling of not getting enough oxygen or a breathless feeling and was in the emergency room where they took the arterial blood count and ekg and various blood tests where they all came out normal. I just want him off this drug, the side effects are more dangerous than the risk of a heart attack or stroke. My husband's health has been deteriotating since he started taking meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol. I am tired of hearing our doctor tell him it's nothing. Is anyone else experiencing the same reaction from there GP's?
