Lisinopril and extensive research

I have been taking Cardizem or a generic form (240 mg) of same for 11 years for slightly high blood pressure, this with minimal side effects. Recently, for some reason my blood pressure was up somewhat. My doctor wants to add 10 mg of Lisinopril. After extensive research and reading this website, I have valid reservations. I do not think it in my best interest to take the additional Lisinopril, especially if sexual related problems and loss of taste are a part of the side effects. I watch my salt intake and diet. Any feedback or suggestions is much appreciated.

My dad is taking Lipinopril and has been having problems in less than 1 week. This drug is not one that is beneficial to the body. I have seen him with severe cough and shortness of breath, enough to wake him up terrified. I have done extensive research online and found this is not good. I do not believe in drugs since doctors precribe drug without really exposing the sideeffects. this doctors see all the old folks and they have dollar signs in their eyes. It is really a polical game to see who can go around the round table and win or money!!!. Please do research on these drugs before you take them online or library. I have seen these drugs given for one illness to cause another and then your given another medication. My mom was being scheduled to have heart surgery and I convinced her to start natural herbs that clean the organs and even the heart, they call them cleanses. She was told she would die and they were livid and foamy at the mouth but she is still her and healthy. Do yourselves the favor and really ask questions. These drug are suppose to be cheap so they go to a lesser brand that cause all these side effects leaving your lives also less!
