Coughing and Severe Leg Cramps
Posted over a year ago
I have been on lisinopril for several years now, I cough all the time..I had no idea it could be my medication, I kept blaming it on allergies.. I have very bad leg cramps in the upper front parts of my legs..it really makes me feel like crap..I try to drink lots of water and eat a lot of bananas.. I would love to be in on the law suit...
Gator1bandit - i have been on lisinopril hctz for five plus years i am diabetic and have a very bad cough all the time and terrible leg cramps went to the dr. and i am going to get checked out for blood clots with ultra sound. I too did not think it could be a medicine i have taken for so long. Anybody have any more info on this? I have never smoked in my life.
Oldcarpetcleaner - Firstly buy your own blood pressure meter and check if you even have a blood pressure problem. Blood pressure varies so much during the course of the day. Just this week I was taken by ambulance to hospital with excruicating muscle and bone pain from my shoulders to my toes. This problem has all been caused by ACE inhibitors and statin medicine poisons. Anyway the hospital takes my blood pressure at 10.00 pm whilst I'm screaming in agony the results 190/100 with heart beat of 93 per minute. early the next morning after pain relief and resting my blood pressure is 110/68 with a heart rate of 53 beats per minute. Moral of the story take your own blood pressure several times a day for several weeks, diary all your readings because you may not even have a blood pressure problem at all. If you do have a blood pressure problem try lipisomal encapsulated Vitamin C, it is a little pricey but it is up to 800% more bio-available than ordinary Vitamin C. Good Luck.
