[QUOTE="03DSGMach1, post: 16130659, member: 48995"] Lisinopril is what we call an ACE inhibitor (ACEi), it prevents the activation of the RAAS system which is responsible for constricting your blood vessels. What a couple members described as a cough is definitely a side effect of the med, if its bothersome we usually advise a switch to an another class called an ARB (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker) that does a similar job as the ACEi. [b][color=#ff0000]As for the throat closure, that's a rare but dangerous side effect called angioedema. As soon as you see/feel any swelling of the lips, throat, face stop the med immediately and see a doctor or go to the ER, it can be very dangerous.[/color][/b] Make sure that everything else is good with your lab work since it can also raise potassium levels. If you're worried about the potential issues with intimacy, it is very rare at less than or equal to 1%. For many, the ACEi's are well tolerated and can be very beneficial. They are shown to be protective of the kidney and prevent the heart from undergoing remodeling (i.e. thickened to where it can't pump as efficiently) that can occur with uncontrolled high blood pressure. Keep on lifting and watching your diet, it'll help even still. [/QUOTE]
