Answer 1

Hello,

What exactly do you mean by sick?

Did you have difficulty breathing and a rash?

A cough that wouldn't stop?

Over severe muscle cramps, body aches and weakness?

Lisinopril can cause something called angioedema, which is swelling usually of the lips, face, or tongue. If that is the case, you can never ever take it again or another ACE inhibitor in the future.

HCTZ - has sulfa, (which rarely causes problems) and if you developed whelps, perhaps, it was from that.

The Zocor can adversely affect your liver and damage your muscle enzymes making you very sore and oft times very weak. If that is the case, no more "Statins" for you.Sometimes your urine will turn very dark in association with this illness.

Please feel free to contact me.

Best of luck.
