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.
Further info on Lisinopril states that it can cause kidney problems and that a person with even minor kidney problems should be monitored carefully and yet, NONE OF MY DOCTORS DID THIS. I would still be on this medication if I had not been proactive on my health and questioned doctors. I would be on possibly dialysis.
