After investigating about the side effects of Lisinopril, which is called an ACE inhibitor (angiotensin converting enzyme) the first thing I found out it seems that almost everyone starts coughing. And if this was the only side effect of lisinopril everything would be fine.
But when you go on reading it even gets kind of scary.
Lisinopril is a prescription drug first of all, and a family member had to take it for treating high blood pressure after his doctor suggested it, so I found a list of severe side effects that was a bit heavy …
- Stomach pain
- Feeling itchy and your skin might even get yellowish
- Swallowing difficulties
- Same for breathing and drinking
- Urine can change color and go dark – like WOW is this for real?
- Chest pain
- Weight gain
- Blurry eye vision
- Drowsiness
- Fainting and/or blackouts
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Losing taste on your tongue
- Severe tiredness
- Cramps in muscles
- Yellow color eyes like jaundice
- Liver problems
- Sexual problems
- Fever
That’s a long and quite good looking list isn’t it .. but I also read that the majority of people just experience coughing. There are also different reactions in the kind of side effects of lisinopril you might have depending the reason you are taking it for and your medical history.
Lisinopril can be prescript for high blood pressure as well as for heart failure related or heart attack patients and also diabetes patients get treated with lisinopril.
This drug should not be taken during pregnancy and immediately suspended if a new pregnancy is detected. Lisinopril and alcohol is to be avoided at all times. And there are many more issues about this drug so always read carefully and follow only the directions of your family physician.
