This medication caused me to break out in hives. Very intense itching. I took it for two weeks in February and was told to stop. It is now the end of August and I'm still plagued with hives.

I just started on this medication,this is in the family of Lisinopril. Was on Lisinopril oral,lowered blood pressure, but started the cry cough, then into wet cough. Stopped taking the Lisin. Went to Atacand, too expensive for me even with insurance. Onto Carvedilol 6.25. Didn't like this at all, caused what I call "scalp pain". Came to find out, this is caused by blood pressure droping. Carvedilol also caused my blood sugar drop. Now am back to the family of Lisinopril, am curious to see if Enalapril causes the same problem with coughing.Read More Read Less

I normally have a low heart rate between 54-60. My pulse has gone down to 48 while taking this med. I also have had some shortness of breath while exerting myself like walking my dog. Is that normal?

Took Enalapril 5mg and it was effective but after a few months developed heart palpitations which I usually felt when I layed down at night. It drove me crazy. Dr. lowered dose but still had palpitations. Now looking for another med.

I have hypothyroidism. I started taking this medication over a month ago. I was the lowest dose and at my dr. doubled my meds after only 4 weeks. It keeps my bp down. I had headaches in the beginning the first few days but I heard if you drink more water and get more excercise it would go away. I feel great now. I have pressure in my chest when I forget to take it. It goes away in about an hour after I take it.

Dr. said I had a "possible tendency to develop high BP sometime in future" so prescribed Enalapril 2.5 as "preventative". After taking this for a few weeks, I developed pain in joints, dry cough and my BP - which has ALWAYS BEEN LOW TO BEGIN WITH - dropped to 102/68. I have STOPPED taking this, as it seems unnecessary medication for me. NO ONE in my family, nor I, have ever suffered from high BP. I am 62. I think the Doc is just a pill-pusher.
