High Blood Pressure
"I was taking Lisinopril for about 6 months for my blood pressure which was 150/103...it went down to about 115/70 which is good.  But I develped the &quot;ACE cough&quot; like abut 15% of people do who take an ACE inhibitor.  I had to keep cough drops and hard candy with me at all times and it was really embarrassing in my classes to cough so much.  I also lost feeling in the tips of my fingers and toes a lot, and occasionally felt like my face and lips were swelling.  So finally I had my doctor switch me to a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) and all of my symptoms have gone away that I can tell.  I have to go to the bathroom a little more often but that is way better than coughing all the time.  I&#039;m hoping it will work for my high blood pressure too."
