[QUOTE="desidiabulum, post: 1538995, member: 39515"] I have been taking lisinopril for several years now after cardio procedures (although my blood pressure was fairly low to begin with) with no ill effects. There have certainly been publicised problems associated with ACE inhibitors, and it is sensible to make sure that your kidney function is routinely checked (as it should be anyway). As is so often the case with medication, it is a matter of calculating the balance of benefits and possible damage. As noblehead says, everyone agrees that high blood pressure can do serious damage. If you have sustained high blood pressure then I would have thought it's worth taking the ACE inhibitor, and just make sure that your dose is as low as possible to be effective and that your kidney function is monitored [/QUOTE]
