Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Lisinopril.

The most common side effects of Lisinopril include: Dry cough, angioedema (swelling of the lips, throat and eyes) due to allergy, increased blood potassium, etc.

The safe and effective alternate medications include Angiotensin receptor blocker, Calcium channel blocker, or Cardioselective beta blockers.
The choice of a suitable and effective medication depends upon the age, concurrent medical illness such as diabetes and air way disease.

Consult your treating doctor for the right medication.

Hope this answers your query.
