Lisinopril and wbc

To Guest 12473 especially: Many thanks for your posting.

I too, have been on this lisinopril for nearly two years, starting w 10mg and recently ending at 40mg. Side effects include erratic BP, horrific dry cough in the evening, productive but sometimes bloody sputum in the morning. Unexplained low grade fever that comes and goes. WBC going out of sight, RBC going down. Hemotologist/Oncologist wants to do bone marrow biopsy thinking the same as Guest 12473: lymphocytic leukemia. My opinion: I've been slowly poisoned by this filth for months. Of course the body is doing strange things, the WBC are trying to fight off this chemical infection. I pray permanent damage has not been done. Quit the lisinopril 48 hours ago. Cough is starting to improve, feeling somewhat better and more energetic, but am now getting queasy throughout the day. Supposed to fly to England and Wales in a few days; hope I can make it.

This filth needs to come off the market now!

I have been on Lisinopril now for 4 months. I developed a terrible dry cough, I suffered a heat stroke after only being outside for about 45 minutes, I have episodes of what I call "Brain Freezes", when my brain will not think and I cannot talk. All these things happened while being on Lisinopril.
Only yesterday did I find out the terrible side effects associated with this drug. I have had abnormal Blood tests. In fact they are fearing that I have Lymphocytic Leukemeia.

This drug causes increase in WBC, dry cough, extreme sensitivity to heat and to sun, mental changes.
This is not a fit drug for man nor beast.
My face and eyes stay extremely puffy all the time , which is another side effect.
I refuse to take this drug any longer and will be seeing my MD. on wednesday. If he should refuse to beleive my symptoms are related to this partioculr medication, then I suppose I will find another MD.
After all our MD's. work for us. We are the boss and anyone whose Md. refuses to accept your symptoms as a side effect of this drug is not a good Md.
Find another Doctor and tkae control of your life. You know how you feel, and you know if something isn't right.

I am just questioning abnormal blood work with Lisinopril??
The following are low: Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, RBC, RDW, Neutrophil

The following is high: Lymphocytes

WBC and all else is Normal

Unfortunately I did not have labs prior to starting Lisinopril.
