"I am a health care worker and inherited the risks of heart disease and diabetes. Worked for years in a high stress University teaching hospital. Had vague symptoms, knew what to do and didnot delay getting to an ER. Called a friend/cardiologist - yes,had a heart attack without muscle injury(thank heavens!)Had triple bypass. Followed Doctors order to the "T". Recently started on lisinopril and have had improved blood pressure and heart rate control. Overall feel 90% better."

"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"
