Hi folks,
My blood pressure is on the high side of normal. Doc has started me on Lisinopril... started about a week ago. I've got the cough that the doc said I'd probably get. It's slight and not overly annoying. However, I have felt really tired since starting it. My blood sugars are a little higher, and I haven't lost an ounce of weight. I have maintained my exercise schedule and also am eating the way I'm suppose to. It's only been a week... am I over-reacting? Too focussed on this? I'm scheduled to go in to get a quick check in 2 weeks. I'm thinking I should calm down and see what happens during the next two weeks. Your thoughts are appreciated.

I would wait to see how your check up goes. Remember to tell the Dr about all your symptoms. The meds can always be changed to something else. Good Luck

My blood pressure was a little high and my endo put me on Lisinopril. I took it for five days and had to be taken off of it. I had some pretty icky side effects and my heart would pound. They switched me to Ziac, which has a diuretic in it and it's been a real blessing. Good luck!!

I have been on Lisinopril for over ten years. Doc gave it to me to protect my kidneys. I had side effects at first but they calmed after a short time. I still get pounding in my ears and sometimes my pulse races. On the bright side, my kidney function is perfect.

Thanks everyone for you advise. I'm actually starting to feel a bit better. The cough is abating and my energy is coming back. It's been about 10 days now.
