Anyone else have a bad interaction while on lisinopril?
On the med for about two weeks.
When I experience heart rhythm issues and a spike in blood pressure. I admit I made some mistakes. And that I did not know you could use ibuprofen eat bananas or use nasal spray. The effect of the med was only a mild drop in blood pressure.So I decided to go off of it for a while. To my surprise, I found that a simple workout supplement that raises nitric oxide in the blood.Seem to offer more relief. My question is, why are we not working on dilating?The blood vessel over preventing the narrowing of it

I took lisinopril for about two months.
My wife noticed that I started saying some scary things, like life wasn't worth living anymore and that I wished I were dead. Plus, I was very listless and withdrawn.
Alarmed, she told me to stop taking it.
On my own, I had noticed I was often dizzy upon standing. (As a stroke patient, that is a very dangerous condition, as falls can be hazardous.)
Long story short, I quit taking it and felt better almost immediately.

3 ReactionsMy whole family developed a dry cough on lisinopril (PRINIVIL, etc. ) My father also developed a squeaky voice. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEis] affect almost 30%. In our case annoying sensitivity was the result. A 'cousin' class of drugs worked. Angiotensin II enzyme reuptake blockers [ARBs], i.e., Losartan (ARBIL, etc.)

1 ReactionI was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and my Nephrologist put me on Lisinopril, stating it would provide protective factors to my kidneys. I experienced the frequent dizziness, usually upon standing. I also got waves of nausea with the dizziness that were brief but happened 1-3 times daily. The other side effect I experienced was a significant increase in anxiety, when I had no previous issues. After 6 months on the medication, losing 25 lbs, and receiving excellent lab reports, he took me off of it. I didn't connect how much better I feel to the Lisinopril until I read this. Thank you for sharing!

2 ReactionsI developed a slight dry cough.
I took it for many years but then the doctors took me off of it because it was causing me to get pancreatitis
Thank you for raising this issue. I am on lisinopril and noticed the side effects like leg cramps after eating bananas and some dizzyness. Can you share the suplement you found helpful?
