My husband has emphysema, hypertention and lupus anticoagulant (autoimmune blood disorder). In 2007 he was prescribed lisinopril as an additional hypertension medication. He has experienced weight loss, balance problems, and general weakness. In 2009 his xray reflected lung scarring (new). His breathing is now much worst than we were led to believe. I realize there could be many reasons but would like to know if anyone else has had unexplained lung scarring while on lisinopril.
Stormiskye - I just read your post. I am looking thru all of the posts for people with abnormal lung chest xrays and ct scans. I started Lisinopril in March of 2011 the very next day I was in the ER with severe ab pains. They did thorough lung tests because a blood test came back positive for possible lung clots. My lungs were completely clear. By the end of June of 2011 I now have a nodule in each lung and a grayish area they are saying right now is inflamation. I asked my doctors how my xrays could go from completely clear to this bad in a couple of months-of course they can give me no answers as to what caused it or what it means for me. I am a 42 year old healthy woman except for some genetic high bp. I have suffered so much this past year not only from the drug side effects but from findings in tests that have me overly stressed. That day in the ER they sent me home with a diagnosis of a maligmant mass on my small intestines. I was told to go straight to oncology. I asked to see a surgeon first. During further CT scans the mass seemed to be going away. I strongly feel it was a bad reaction to the start of linsinopril the day before. I think it caused my intestines to swell, but I am not a doctor. I do beleive it caused this lung damage and I am worried about what the damage means to my future. I am interested in how things are going for you and if you would like to email me I have lawyer info on someone who is looking into the lisinopril lung damage connection.stormiskye@comcast.net I was on this horrible medication from March 2011 to January 2012. I am still dealing with the effects. I am hoping the lung damage is not permanent. I have to have repeat lung CTs now every year. Doctors will not admit to anything they have done or put you on has caused anything!!!
