I recently started taking Lisinopril 5mg Tablets for high blood pressure. I've noticed some mild dizziness and a persistent cough, but nothing too severe. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced similar side effects or if there are any tips for managing them. I'm also a bit worried about the more serious side effects listed, like kidney problems and high potassium levels. How can I keep an eye out for these? I want to make sure I'm as safe as possible while on this medication.

I've been on Lisinopril for about a year and my BP has come down and stabilised.

I've been on Lisinopril for a few years now, and the dizziness did go away after a few weeks. As for the cough, that's a common side effect. Talk to your doctor about switching to a different blood pressure medication if it becomes unbearable.

I was on Lisinopril but switched to another medication to avoid the persistent cough and liver issues. Always consult a doctor if side effects are causing problems.

I've been taking Lisinopril for a while and it seems to be working well for me. Just keep an eye on your blood pressure and make sure your doctor is up to date on how you're feeling. Always trust your gut—if something feels off, it probably is.

I stopped taking Lisinopril because of the cough. It was just too much to deal with. My doctor prescribed a different medication, and I haven't had any issues since. Talk to your doctor if the side effects are bothering you. There are other options.
