Hi, I've been taking Lisinopril for about three months, but recently I've had weakness in my right leg. Also, my hands have been tingly and feel like they're falling asleep. Has anyone else had these side effects? I'm just wondering if it's the medicine or if I have something else going on. Thanks for your help.

I have been on Lisinopril for 2 weeks (5 mg). It is working well as far as lowering my BP (130/80 average now). The problem is that at night I wake up and my hand is numb. With massage, I get feeling back. During the day, it is only a tingling sensation. The tingling has recently spread to my feet. I will get off Lisinopril if there is no expectation that these simptoms will disappear. My Physician seems oblivious to these side effects possibly being caused by the medication. Anyone have any info on whether these side effects will pass?

I have been on it for 2 months since I was diagnosed as having Myocarditis (infection of the heart), at least that is what they "think" happened because they cannot be 100% sure of anything. Anyway, ever since I have been on Lisinopril, my hands and feet tingle and sometimes feel numb. This even happens when I am sleeping and wake up several times a night to move around and get my blood flowing again. I get tingling in my feet after I complete my workout on the elyptical machine. My hands go numb while riding my bike. I am an active person and working out is not an option. But so far my doctor wants to keep me on it until Dec when I can go in for a stress test, which she feels I will pass with flying colors. But so far my Dr says my heart is perfect and have had a battery of tests to include a heart catheter, two echo cardiograms, a number of EKGs, and my blood pressure is perfect if not even a little low. It is driving me crazy.
