Brenda,
Well darn it all! It's always something isn't it. I can tell you that Lisinopril is a really good drug on it's own. It has literally been a life saver for my MIL which probably wouldn't be here without that one drug alone. Lets hope your EKG was just a blip and all is fine once they check your ticker for 24 hrs. Your medical team will get this figured out for you...I just know it.

Many of the blood pressure meds take up to two wks to work...but it seems the Lisinopril makes a difference right away.

So I'll been keeping possitive thoughts and prayers for you. Keep us updated.
