Prinivil Reviews
For High Blood Pressure "Went to see doctor for edema in lower legs. Had BP 148/98. Prescribed 20 mg. Been taking it for a little over a month. Only side effect is nearly blacking out when I stand up too fast. Swelling took a few weeks to go away, and BP is stabilized around 101/82. This is the first time ever taking an ACE inhibitor. I lost around 8 lbs of excess fluid as well. Paternal family history of high BP. 40-year-old female."
For High Blood Pressure "The cough with all the congestion is annoying. Everyone is always asking if I'm ill. My blood pressure is still averaging 190/124. BPM is around 90-135. I have been on 2.5 mg for 4 months with no change. I'm a 48-year-old white female in a high-pressure medical career. No health insurance, so my doctor writes me Lisinopril because it is free. My next appointment is in 2 weeks. I'm sure he will make changes."
For Migraine Prevention "The doctor gave me 10 mg lisinopril for high blood pressure - I never had a headache for over a month. It was great, but I developed a bad cough, so he took me off. I miss not having the headaches. I think I was taking too high a dose. I'd like to try a smaller mg."
For High Blood Pressure "Does a fine job lowering my blood pressure, and I feel much better. The cough is irksome. Having a cough drop in the far back of my mouth tends to relieve it, and thank goodness you can find sugar-free ones now. Still, considering bladder control problems and the way the cough disrupts my sleep, I'll probably switch to another medicine."
For High Blood Pressure "Blood pressure went down dramatically. My diastolic went from the mid-90s to now mid-upper 70s. Systolic went from the mid-upper 130s to now upper teens to lower 120s."
For High Blood Pressure "My lungs felt stuffy and a lot of nasal congestion. This had become so severe that I almost went to the emergency room on a couple of occasions thinking I was having extreme allergy problems."
For High Blood Pressure "Gradually, the dry cough increased to heavy coughing, especially at night after one week of taking."
For High Blood Pressure "Helps me feel normal. Generic lisinopril caused severe dizziness."
For High Blood Pressure "I experienced coughing and muscle pain."
For High Blood Pressure "This product worked. It dropped my blood pressure to the normal stage where I felt good."
For High Blood Pressure "This medication actually works well for me."
