I take it for a heart murmer-i have strange sensations in my right face-feels like it is drooping or numb but in reality it is not, i can feel cold,heat, and touch and no physical signs of change in my face, new very tolerable headache in my temples and my right hand gets really cold if i dont wear long sleeves, i also have a lot of stomach upset, but i had it in a milder form before starting the medication-i dont feel these are bad enough to make me stop the medication and all of my labs are perfect. I am hoping when i loose weight to be able to go off of it. my blood pressure for the past 2 years has been borderline high, now its where it was when i was a teen ager.Read More Read Less

As with aprevious reviewer, I too have had bugs bites become big welts with no scratching by me. I believe that a side effect may be hives. However the brief experiences of that have been worth the benefits. I found hydrocortisine (sp?) cream helped relieve the welts.

My husband has been taking Vasotec and he is doing very well on it. He just recently started having a problem when he is bitten by mosquitos and another bug he has whelps. They hurt and do not go away anytime soon. This has been happening for a week. Has anyone ever heard of this while taking Vasotec?

I take two kinds of blood pressure medications and my pressure has remained high even with an increase. My pressure is very high and has been for the last 8 years. But I think because I am female the medical profession doesn't see it as a problem.
