I STOPED TAKING IT. IT CAUSED ME ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, AND I DID NOT KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED UNTIL I CONSULTED WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR. I AM NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE, AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FLUSHING IT OUT OF MY BODY. I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, ALMOST FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!1 Published: December 24, 2008 ::

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? Published: October 03, 2008 ::
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. Published: July 28, 2008 ::
I have been taking vasotec for 17 years without a problem. I can still have 1 or maybe 2 cups of coffee without raising my BP. Published: January 14, 2009 ::
I was on a generic for this drug: Enalapril. Took it at bedtime. Middle of night had swelling of lip and tongue first day. But continued and had some minor stomach gas/bloating and sometimes feeling of rapid heart beat. On the eleventh day I had swelling of tongue, lip and closing of throat due to allergic reaction to it. 2 Benedryl dissolving tabs took care of it. But now am off. Too bad I had this reaction because my BP went from 160/95 to 118/80. If you aren't allergic to it, I think it generally would be helpful. Published: November 24, 2008 ::
