Lisinopril and mack truck

I went to the Doctor and told him I have been on Beta Blocker nebivolol for 15 years. He pointed out that one of the side effects of nebivolol was that it caused diabeties. Well he then prescribed 10mg of Lisinopril and told me to replace my beta Blocker with this. I said ok and took my 10 mg pill and was ok for about 5 hours. Then my chest felt like a mack truck was on it and the pain lasted for 8 hours. I had such pain before with my Beta Blocker but that was because I took too much at times of high stress. But that pain only lasted 1 hour. This Lisinopril pain lasted 8 hours and I was jumping in bed like a mexican jelly bean. The next morning I called my doctor and told him what happened and he said "that is not a side effect of the drug and just keep taking it." . I told him the dose was too high for me and can I cut it in half. He told me just take it and don't give both of us a heart attach. Well I dumped my doctor after such advice and am looking for a new one. I tried taking 2.5 mg and got similar pains though reduced. Finally I went back to my old drug and feel much better though I am not happy that my old drug causes diabetics. No body ever told me that. I am more stressed out now then I was before and hope I can find a doctor, who has a good bedside manner and knows what the hell he is talking about. Thank God for this site.

I took lisinopril for the first time last night. When I woke up this morning I felt as if I had been hit by a mack truck. I stayed in bed almost an hour longer than usual, and when I walked my dogs I found I couldn't even make it around the block without experiencing a lot of back and joint pain. Do these side effects pass or will they get worse if I continue to take this medication? Thanks.

I have had flu like symptoms for about three weeks steady now. I have been on lisinopril for about 5 - 6 months. I have no energy and after reading some of the comments, I am definitely going to ask for a different bp medication. I had knee surgery about 3 months ago, and I thought my fatigue was due to that. I think the medication has gradually built up in my system. It ran a bell when someone else said, they felt they were run over by a mack truck.
