After being diagnosed with high blood pressure, I was prescribed lisinopril, I take 5 mg in the morning and 5 mg in the evening.
After about a week of treatment, my blood pressure stabilised at an average of 130/75.
I have now been taking the medication for 7 months and have noticed an increasingly frequent dry cough and occasional light-headedness with a spongy feeling in my head. I will discuss with my doctor whether I can stop taking the medication.
I took this medicine for about 9 months, definitely brought blood pressure under control, but I developed a chronic cough that became disruptive to my sleep and my work. Doctor didn’t want to change my prescription and insisted I had some kind of bronchial infection. After researching I found about all of the warnings, etc. I stopped taking the drug and the cough cleared up within a week. This stuff can seriously mess you up. Tell your doctor and insist on a change.
