What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Lisinopril Tablet?

Hi, I saw question about Lisinopril and gas, I have been on Lisinopril for 3 years and have gas. I feel my esophagus feel like a burp or ripple effect. This is relieved with a burp or drink of water. Sometimes I feel flutter with light headed but again solved by a drink of water. I have EKG with yearly checkups, no problem found. I had two surgeries one for huniea and other for inner ear tumour. Each time the ER monitors my heart and sees no problem. One side effect of Lisinopril is heart palps but why drinking water relieves my situation? Any suggestions
