If you are scared about your MRI, keep in mind that people talk about MRI and claustrophobia (fear of being in a closed space) based on what they have heard or experienced in the past. Not all of this is true today, and certainly not at UCSF Medical Center.
Digestive system side effects are common with lisinopril treatment. The drug can cause gastrointestinal cramping, flatulence, constipation, heartburn, dry mouth, indigestion, vomiting and stomach inflammation. It has also been linked with hepatitis and pancreatitis.
Lisinopril may cause itching or a mild rash on the skin. This is usually a minor side effect that will clear up on its own. However, a rash can also indicate an allergic reaction. If the rash is accompanied by redness, swelling of the face or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
