Lisinopril for Heart Attack Reviews

"I am a healthcare worker and inherited the risks of heart disease and diabetes. I worked for years in a high-stress university teaching hospital. I had vague symptoms, knew what to do, and did not delay getting to an ER. I called a friend/cardiologist - yes, had a heart attack without muscle injury (thank heavens!). I had triple bypass surgery. I followed the doctor's orders to the 'T'. Recently, I started on lisinopril and have had improved blood pressure and heart rate control. Overall, I feel 90% better."


"Severe reaction, 48-year-old male hospitalized for 4 days, tongue and lips swelled, body turned red, hives, severe perspiration trouble, blood pressure dropped to 70/41, dehydrated. Was on this medication for 6 months, took medicine in the morning, had a reaction at 6 PM, no warning."


"Having been taken to the hospital for an arythemia, doctor prescribed many drugs including this one. Taking it since March 8,2016 and am always tired, no desire to do anything and am in bed by 8pm. I only take 2.5mg. Doctor says I'm doing well but have to contact him."


"No MI, in Groupon found a coupon for a new company that offers CT if the heart for $30.00 . Came back with a major artery occluded 100%. Never had symptoms. They put me in this medicine and SEVERE fatigue. Could not function. I know take it a half the dose at night and I am finally able to function."


"I had been taking lisinopril for the at least two years. I believe that it caused various side effects. They are as follow: a. Joint, muscle, and skeletal aches and pain throughout the entire body. It also caused me pain to walk. My hips and my feet especially hurt when I walked. b. Blurred vision c. Malasma on the face around the cheeks d. Inflammation of the gums. Periodically my upper front and side gums where the canines are would flare up. Very painful"


"Had a Major Heart Attack, 3 stents, thank heavens no heart damage! This medication keeps my blood pumping great and heart relaxed. No side effects for 5 years I know of."
