I too use Lisinopril-HCTZ. I resently had a reaction but I am not sure to what. It seems to happen more in warmer weather. Both my thumbs hurt. Because I am used to pain I can ignore it accept when having to use them to open something up. Along with the pain I had localized rashes on my hands where the pain in my thumbs were. It also discolored my skin. I went to dermatologists that have know idea what it was. Now that it is cooler the rash has subsided although the discoloration is still there ever so slightly and the pain in far less. The discoloration is light with dark spots. The reason I am writing is that I have read that other people seem to have pain in their thumbs when taking this drug. Please get back to me if buzzare things like this has happened to you taking this drug. Also, I am interested in knowing if anyone has gained weight from taking this drug. Because of the way insurance companies are today, only giving the doctors x amount of time with patients I find that speaking to others that take the drug is far more beneficial. Perhaps together we can come up with more structured data then our doctors.
I am having problems with a rash and a large dark spot on my legs. also tingling and burning in my fingers. It looks almost like shingles. I have a hard time isolating cerrtain meds because I take 17 different drugs daily. Thank You
I have severe pain in both thumbs only. Also terrible itching of scalp.I live in Fl but never made a connection with the sun. Bought Benadryl today and itching stopped immediately. Will D/C the med and look for herbal rememdy...or give up ice cream!!

These types of things are listed under the serious side effects, so you should talk to your doctor about them.
Same reaction. Thumb pain and rash. Now I have been breaking out in Hives. Doc took me off the Lisinopril almoust 3 weeks ago. Still on Predisone for the hives.
I was on Lisinopril for 6 weeks, then developed an angioedema and ended up in ER. Had prednisolone for 6 weeks and had hives for a few months, would like to know if I can take Benicar as an alternative.
