I believe the other drug you are taking is actually called "Lisinopril" which is used to lower blood pressure...

The side effects of Lisinopril are....
What is Lisinopril most used for?
Lisinopril is used to lower blood pressure. Although not a complete cure, it relaxes blood vessels to control high blood pressure (also known as hypertension). Remember that having high blood pressure is dangerous, and can lead to stroke, heart failure, or kindey damage. Patients with heart failure may also take Lisinopril.
Possible Side Effects
Notify your doctor ASAP if any of the following side effects surface: dizziness, lightheadedness / fainting spells, fatigue, fever or chills, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, fast or uneven heart beat, palpitations, chest pain, numbness or tingling in your fingers or toesdecreased amount of urine, skin rash, itching, change in taste, cough, swelling of your face / lips / tongue, severe diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, excessive sweating. The loss of body fluid can make it dangerous to take Lisinopril

All the best, and good luck...hahaha...;-)
