62 year old female, taking Lisinopril for over a year. I was at lost for my symptoms until I read this site, pain in arm, don`t sleep, itching all over, Head ache, pressure on back of head Dizzy, trouble walking,depression,loose of memory etc.( history of a benign brain tumor about 10 years ago) Pressure was so bad I made a appointment with my neurosurg) Talked to a Pharm. He suggested to not take it one night and see. I did and the pressure went away.I called the Cardiologist. His nurse really told me off and that I was not having any side effect, something was going on, but not Lisinopril as I had taken it for so long. She was just plain rude! She would not call anything else in for me either. I am titrating it and and looking for a new doctor!!

I have been on 40 mg daily for over a year, and it has gotten my BP down to near normal. I am a 70 yr old male, otherwise healthy. My symptoms came on so gradually, almost unnoticeable. It has gotten to the point that I can t walk from the car to a store without almost passing out. I have no energy at all, want to stay home and do nothing. After reading this site, I stopped my Lisinopril as of yesterday morning. I realize that missing one day is no big deal, but already I feel better. I have resorted to Grandma's recipe of two TSPS of cider vinegar in my tomato juice in the morning and NO Isinopril. I have concluded that a BP of 140/72 is the best I can do. My pulse rate has dropped from 85 to 64 in just ONE day. I am impressed.
