    The cough you had was likely the lisinopril.  That is a very common side effect.  For the fatigue, get to your doctor now.  For me and others Amlodipine has caused Afib and that may be the cause of your fatigue.  This can be very serious.  My heart rate dropped into the 20s and I passed out.  I now have a pacemaker. There seems to be a resistance of doctors to accept that Amlodipine is the cause, but I would ask to be put on a different medicine.
