I was on 4mg once a day for 2 years. I experienced palpitations, shortness of breath and migraines. I initiaally was on this drug with Verapamil. At that time the side effects were at there worse. Things got better once the Verapamil was stopped although still not back to normal. Switched doctor and changed meds. Now on Lisinopril for 2 weeks. Highly recommend DASH diet and exercise to reduce meds...

I have be taking 2 mg since April '21. I stopped this week because I wake up every night several times with severe dry mouth. I feel like I am suffocating. The dry mouth gradually increased to this point. In the past 6 months I have started with head aches, dry cough and blood pressure 150/90.

First and only medicine I have been on for over 20 years, same dosage over all this time. No side effects ever noticed. Originally started on brand name Mavik, been using generics since they came on market.

Side effect of this drug for me has been a mild dry cough which appears to be increasing over time.
