Lisinopril most common known side effects are respiratory irritation, which for most people, shows up as a dry cough.
If you have a negative reaction to Lisinopril, there are a LOT of other BP meds out there. Effective BP meds have been around for decades.
So...why ask here? What does your doc say?
Yeah ex smoker here too. Go ahead and by your casket. Nothing worse then someone claiming they cant eat right when they are willing to put down the food.
Best of luck brother!
I had used pressure low for years, now I take a little Chinese herb mixture called Seven Flower Extract. I have several friends on this as well. I too cannot take Lisinopril.....this with walking ie...a little exercise will do wonders.
Try it but monitor your BP and see if this will work for you.

If things are in the critical stage, why not try hypnosis for weight loss?
Hard to put down the fork, I have been there before. Took me @ 2 years to lose 50lbs. But I realized, that between now and my death, any food I want will be there- even on my deathbed. I told my boss, that if he ever sees a receipt on my expense report from McDonalds or Burger King or some other slimy malnutritious fast food place, it means I am dying and eating my last meal. The food will ALWAYS be there.
A few things that were not to difficult to do to ease into losing weight:
1- NO more sodas....get rid of them. If you want something with taste, try water with lemon. At one point, I used to mix water and cayenne pepper. As a matter of fact, increase your water intake to at least 4-8 glasses/day.
2- NO meals after 6 pm- period....When the clock hits 6, you stop eating till breakfast.
3- NO meats on any 2 days per week. Easier to say than do. You would not believe how hard it is not to eat meat.
4- Eat more fish.
5- What I attribute my blood pressure going normally low- eating oatmeal for breakfast, at least 4-5 days/week for the past 18 years.
