Just started taking it a week ago, my Dr. switched it out with innefective BP meds. Two hrs after taking it, I felt like I had the flu...teeth chattering, bones/muscle aches. Weak legs, which is already an issue because I need a hip replaced. Not too pleased and a bit scared.

It makes me sweat profusely when taking this drug. I don't mean a drip off the end of my nose but a continuous stream. Takes about a week to go away when I stop taking enalapril but then BP skyrockets. I feel stuck in a hard place.

I was prescribed this medication due to the fact that my urine test found a high amount of protein in it and I have Type 2 Diabetes. To help prevent Kidney Disease. Too soon to see if it works.Has given me a no stop hurting cough that won't go away. Hard to sleep. Stomach & ribs ache from cough. I see the dr. in two weeks and he wants me to continue the medication until I see him. I normally have low B/P. B/P is still ok. cough is so bad.
