This is the only hypertension medication that was successful in normalizing my blood pressure.

I've been taking Lisinopril/Hydrochlorizide for about 25 years. I didn't have high blood pressure when I started taking it. What I had was severe Migraine headaches. I worked with an open minded doctor, and we tried all kind of things, both natural and pharmaceutical. But, when I started taking Lisinopril the headaches went away. Haven't had one since. And I suffer no side effects.

For about 2 weeks I've been feeling like I'm was going to die. After taking this medication a few hours later I feel great.

I just started taking Lisinopril two weeks ago. I am a 64 year old type 2 diabetic and in control with medication and diet. My blood pressure has started to climb a bit to where the doctor fealt it was time to treat it before it became a serious issue. I am feeling a little bit dizzy, ears ringing and just a little nauseous. My blood pressure has dropped however. I was given 2.5mg tablets and told to cut them in half. The side effects are real. I am so glad I am on a very low dose. I am very sensitive to prescription medications. Be careful with this medication.

I was taking both lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazi & amlodipine for over 6 years. After some health issues that landed me in the hospital twice taking test after test for heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, a cat scan & more. They couldn’t find a problem. When sitting at home after all these test, I discovered that all my symptoms were the also the side effects of the amlodipine. My BP at this point was running 145/80 & I was getting hypertension. My doctor didn’t think I should stop, but I did cold turkey. It’s been 17 days, my BP is 123/62 since stopping. Can I get your thoughts of just staying on the lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazi. I’ve also started loosing weight, no more swollen legs, BP’s down, head rushes, dizziness, heart beating in my throat are gone. Thank You Guy

I was on Lisinopril for 3 yrs. It made me feel awful with joint pain, dizziness, and more. I changed my diet. No Carbs At All. Lots of meat... I lost 20 lbs, in 10 weeks, 10 to go, and I am off of this poison , I feel GREAT. It's all about your diet, friends. .

"HOW TO TAKE IT CORRECTLY", Open mouth, insert medication, swallow medication, enjoy lower blood pressure. Put away medication in a safe place out of the reach of children.

what's with the background music ? very annoying but thanks for the content.

One thing I am not seeing mentioned, but is mentioned in case studies, is that some people have gotten DIL- Drug induced Lupus. I am having classic visible symptoms of Lupus. The malar rash, photosensitivity, arthritis pain, muscle weakness and twitching, rash.

This is a very helpful video. Thank you.

Great info, but the BGM could be lower a bit.

I don't understand things, but your explanation was good. I wish you would really answer questions. I am mid 60s, female, have angina and had have had a heart attack. I am a diabetic with nerve damage and who is also on dialysis. A new doc subscribed this for me 2 weeks ago along with Lyrica, but will not return my calls to help ease my concerns. Do I need to just take this stuff or get a new doc?

Can I take Lisinopril if my pulse is below 60?

I had to go to the emergency room because my throat was swollen shut and they took me off of lisinopril and put me on losartan but they said for me to never take Lisinopril again because it could cause me to die
