Well it took some months for it to happen, but I got the dry, hacking cough. Tickle in the throat. Very annoying. Doctor told me to stop taking the pills. So far after not having it for 5 days, I feel like a new person. Cough is slowly going away. Waiting to see what else they put me in this week. Was taking 20mg a day of Lisinopril.

I have been taking 10mg for many years with good results and no side effects. Recently I was experiencing a swelling in my throat making it hard to swallow. I was treated with antibiotics and that didn’t help. I forgot to take my Lisinopril one day and my throat felt so much better. I researched the side effects and found out that swelling of the throat was a rare side effect. I contacted my doc ... Show Full Comment

I was treated with antibiotics and that didn’t help. I forgot to take my Lisinopril one day and my throat felt so much better. I researched the side effects and found out that swelling of the throat was a rare side effect. I contacted my doctor and she confirmed that throat swelling was a side effect and immediately took me off this medication. I was surprised that I developed this side effect after taking Lisinopril for many years with great success and no side effects.

After taking Lisinopril for about one year I had a sudden severe attack of vertigo that sent me to the ER.

2.5 mg for HBP and Mitral Valve Prolapse with Mild Regurgitation. My BP is normal (110-120/70) part of the day and sometimes elevated (120-130/70) and rarely high (130-140/80) I'm on day 2 of taking this med and its already been a roller coaster. For the 1st hour or so after taking it I'm on fire, sweating, racing heart, jittery best description I could give; I feel like I just smoked crack or what I assume smoking crack feels like. Today, after that went away, I felt great then suddenly crashed mid day. Light headed, cold sweats, weird lump/pressure in my throat, weak and foggy. I was anxious about starting this because I haven't met with the cardiologist yet and I don't want to take something that I may be able to fix with lifestyle changes. I've been a slug for a while and mildly over weight. I feel like if I manage stress better, use supplement and exercise I can fix my BP on my own.
