ACE Inhibitor Side Effects: Lisinopril, Ramipril, Captopril, Perindopril | Causes and Why They Occur

ACE Inhibitor Side Effects | Ramipril, Enalapril, Captopril, Perindopril | Causes and Why They Occur

ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) are medications that are used for high blood pressure (hypertension), kidney disease, diabetes and heart disease patients. Some examples of ACE inhibitors (-pril medications) are ramipril, enalapril, captopril, and perindopril. ACE inhibitors act to lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme, which is an enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, but it does have a variety of other affects as well. In this lesson, we discuss the side effects of ACE inhibitor use, including minor and mild side effects and very serious, life-threatening side effects.

Most honest video ever!!! I experienced all the side effects but my doctor kept saying ARBS same as Ace inhibitors. None of my high blood medication didn't give me problems. They're worse the disease I swear. Thank you for sharing the great video 🙏

Two weeks ago my blood pressure was 212/128 and I was taking extra blood pressure medicines. I changed my diet completely and this morning my blood pressure is 108/67 and I am completely off of blood pressure medicines. I can teach anybody to do the same. Stop eating all foods that convert to sugar and increase your intake of avocados, walnuts, hemp seed, and a high polyphenol count olive oil, eat lots of fish that is high in omega 3 oils, and green leafy vegetables. Also, take a high-fiber supplement that is pure like psyllium hulls. Do not take Metamucil as it does contain psyllium hulls, however, it also contains other ingredients that are really bad for your intake. The first week you will feel bloated from the high-fiber diet, however, that will pass and the high fiber will lower your cholesterol. Another benefit you will receive is your arthritis (which is only inflammation) will go away. High blood pressure can be completely controlled by diet. I hope this helps and good luck to you.

I wish I would have known this a year ago! Had problems with swollen tongue and lips several times and was not diagnosed until I had my throat swell up after tonsillectomy. It was the emergency room Dr who figured it out. Was on a ventilator for three days.

[rickgray]

Fantastic info. Clear and concise. Thank you much! Best to you for making a difference for many of us. Know you are appreciated.

[MrDemoncrusher]

Oh Snap! I began taking Ramipril a couple of months ago and for about the last 6 weeks I've had an annoying dry cough I couldn't shift. It's made worse because as a child, many moons ago, I has asthma. Now my asthma has returned as well. And now I know why. Thank you.

[bklowe]

I have been taking Lisinopril for awhile now (low dosage-10mg). It seems to do the trick. I have also been dealing with a small but persistent cough. I had no idea what it was from but just chalked it up to my body still getting used to me not smoking anymore. This helped me realize that it may not just be that. Also, periodically I will get hives, usually on my lower legs. This seems to be more due to dryer weather but now I know that there may be another cause. Thank you for the information! I know my meds may not be the cause of these but knowing that it is a possibility keeps me from overthinking them when they occur. Thanks again!

[glenw-xmzf]

i am quitting it..(Coversyl) cut back for 3 days then none. Doctor says I might die. I tell him, 'That's the only guarantee life has" "And you could even beat me to it. " Ok. this was 3 mos ago. off for 4 days on for 5. 140/85 is do able.. 120/75 is better. BP goes up and down like a yo yo.. all day long

[tdoubt]

Many thanks! I have some of these symptoms. now I know why! Going to try some lifestyle changes and wean myself of this poison.

[monad]

@JJ MEDICINE I had a swollen tongue, loss of dexterity, muscle weakness/pain, lethargic sensory, in fact most of the above. The Ace I am taking are called Coversyl.

[tommunyon]

When I was in the hospital after breaking my hip my heart rhythm and b.p. became very erratic. I am on metoprolol along with lisinopril. It was not brought up to me that my medications might have contributed to this problem. My blood glucose also shot up to 475! Trauma seemed to be the cause. Anything that touches on my vagus nerve seems to precipitate all sorts of weird effects.

[ShereeseSR]

Thank you I’m going to Totally Quiet this medication

[Enolaa]

[shuntalefairbanks]

I would like to see a video on a Good Detox for people with high blood pressure. Ok

[RobertCross-em]

I had angeodemia that put me in ICU for 3 1/2. Weeks. Was intubated then a trach because my tongue swelled so had and was closing off my airway. So be careful using Lisinopril!

[yasminbarry]

This is very useful information, indeed. But have you all seen the video entitled " Safest BLOOD PRESSURE Medications in 2022" by Dr. Ken D Berry? That allowed me to get the full picture on the different blood pressure medications families.

[pinksparklelove]

My lip was so swollen ambulance took me to hospital..I've been taking lismoprill for 15 years this came on suddenly

[wendybutler]

This explains a few things. I've been dealing with burning mouth syndrome and wonder if this is why.

[leprosy]

had hair loss on lisinopril so im on losartan. the lost hair grew back when i switched to an ARB

[andytachibanalover]

All of this and no mention of the synthetic snake venom in these drugs. That's the problem here.
