User Reviews for Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide

I have been taking Lisinopril HTC 2025 for several years now and have thought it has done a great job controlling my blood pressure but as I read this article today a whole new light has been shared upon me in the experience I need to share. Also for many years now off and on I have been experiencing these uncomfortable and sometimes scary side effects like the burning and stinging in the arms this article mentioned but mine feel more like like my arms have been drained from all their energy and and become real heavy and and sore feeling and then even cramped as if to leave me to believe I could be having a stroke or something usually these spells only last 5 or 10 minutes or so and I used to not get them very often but lately I've been noticing that I'm getting a more often and they seem to be more intense I don't know why it's never dawned on me that this could be a reaction to the Lisinopril but now I'm 100% sure it is and I just thank God for this article that was written and hope I'm not too late to correct whatever physical problems it may have caused yes lisinopril will bring your blood pressure to normal but I believe there's some things people really need to watch for is all I can sayRead More Read Less

Im taken 20/12 my BP is down 104/56 sometimes Lower .. my BP was 180/90 when I started taking I cut it in 1/2 still works . Same reading 100/57 I’m happy with that also help me with my irregular heartbeats my heart ?? is normal hr 60 to 80 I do drink lost of water . I’m 71 years old I only take vitamins no interruptions.

Was on Lisinopril for nine months, did a good job controlling my blood pressure. Had to stop taking due to the side effects. Made me very lethargic and horrible diarrhea, had loose stool every day while on medication

Lisinopril HCTZ may not work for some. Do your own homework/research on the Web. Dr's these days are overwhelmed and do not always recommend the right medications. Lisinopril had me all screwed up until I did my own research.

Began having an internment cough soon after I started taking Lisinopril.

Been on this for near 5 yrs. No side effects I like it coz its flexible. Started with the 20/25mg dose, but after 3 months gym, doc dialed it down to 20/12 when he was surprised it went back to near normal after I hit they gym. Its cheap and I like that I can split it in 2 if running low. Disclaimer:Im a blk man with hereditary BP so only weigh 145 but in stress BP gets to 150/100 or when I dont renew prescription and freestyle diet, I start to feel warning headaches and its 178/110 months later on extreme stress days. Just started reading about this and trying to wean myself off lisinop given the long term liver risk. Ironically if I hit the gym hard and watch my diet, I can drop to normal BP with NO meds but then am weighing about 130lbs and ppl look at me like.. due, are you sick, yet am healthiest then but the trade-off is almost a caveman diet and looking wiry at 5'11. Im married already so it dont bother me and my sex drive is normal. Am just worried about long term and want to steer clear as much as possible till I may need it later when my frame cant keep up with the high impact cardio and gym routines. Also have to make tough choices. Food I'd eat freestyle and not worry about weight gain leaves sodium / sugar bombs for my heart. Such is life...aah the trade-offs to stave off early death.Read More Read Less

Was taking 5mg amlodipine with moderate results, doctor added 20 mg hydrochlorothiazideh-lisinopril. Within a week dry cough and both my elbows developed severe pain, to where I could not extend them fully. Also I could not maintain an erection during sexual activities. BP was not reduced. After one month doctor took me off hydrochlorothiazide-lisinopril, elbow pain went away, he put me on just lisinopril 20mg and amlodipine 10mg. Too early to tell whether I have any side effects.

Took this for about four years. I had the cough at the beginning, but I thought I was pretty much symptom free. Had a bout of acute pancreatitis with no known cause, and then kept having recurring small 'flares' that I could derail by not eating for a few days. Finally a nurse I knew told me that her dad found that Lisinopril was causing his pancreatitis issues. Asked the doc to take me off, been off it for four months or so and zero problems with the pancreas flares. Unfortunately having problems finding another med that works with no side effects.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this for HBP for around 3 months. So far I have not had any negative side effects and it has significantly reduced my blood pressure.

I HAD A STROKE DUE TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. THIS DRUG DOES LOWER BP EFFECTIVELY, BUT I DO HAVE A DRY COUGH AT NIGHT AND EXTREME FATIQUE - I LIKE HAVING ENERGY IF THIS FATIGUE CONTINUES I WILL TALK TO MY DR ABOUT LOWERING THE DOSE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS DRUG FOR 1 WEEK,BP WAS 191/132 NOW 1 WEEK AFTER DRUG 132/75

Used Lisinopril for years with no problem. Then it just stopped working. Was given Lisinopril HCTZ and had some issues. Finally, got dizzy spells everyday and just didn't feel good. Stopped the Lisinopril and went to another med, and things are getting better.

Took at night time. Could not sleep. Took during day and I am fatigued. Going to switch. It did lower 120/70.

Broke with blisters all over my face

I took this medicine I had headaches,I couldn't sleep and my heart was beating fast.I told my Doctor she told me to stop taking it and ever since then I've been having problem with my heart

Day 1 severe stomach pain and diarrhea . Day 2 extremely low blood pressure 104/77 and continual diarrhea very cold hands and feet. I took htcz for two years and still had simi high blood pressure 140/95 but no side effects until the doctor added the lisonpril.. I am getting off this medication.

In less than a month, I've developed a horrible dry cough which sends me into fits of choking and gagging. It's so bad, it wakes me up during the night. I feel like my body is moving through quick sand. The physical fatigue is unbearable. I also have had a low grade headache for days on end with a bit of dizziness.

Took only one (1) 10mg pill. My face had excessive swelling (cheeks,lips,under eyes, throat) for 2-3 days.

Ok, Solved the dry cough and headaches. If you have them as I did you are dehydrated, because of the Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic). Hydrate. You should be drinking 32 oz. plus of water just for good health. It does not make a difference whether you are thirsty or not. You can be dehydrated and never feel thirsty. Dry cough will definitely go away and I will bet the headaches will follow. I have never had other symptoms.

I have been using this medication for a little over 90 days now. In the beginning I had some light headiness but it subsided. Now I have this God awful dry cough and can now sleep an entire 24 hours if I could. I am always tired. Now I'm having stomach pain to which I thought it was a 24 hour virus. The pain isn't as bad as it was before but it's still there. The other night I was having tingling in my foot so now I've become concerned about these side effects. If these side effects continue, I will check to see if my dosage needs to be decreased. I'm currently on the 20/25 mg one time a day dosage.Read More Read Less
