    Hello kundan9.  Tell your doctor as soon as possible about this leg cramping as it is a serious side effect and can get much worse over time.  I have had serious complications with Lisinopril that began almost 2 years into taking the medication and I'm weaning off it because the side effects and reactions are just too serious and too debilitating...I weaned off of Metoprolol as that medication caused serious side effects into the first year of taking it so if side effects begin I think it's a safe bet they will not get better.  I strongly suggest asking for something else...Good luck and don't let it go...smile   Have you tried to make lifestyle changes with diet, exercise and losing weight if necessary ?  Also, deep breathing helps me to get my heart rate down and in turn helps lower my BP...it takes patience and some time to get used to doing it, but it does work for me...

      Thank you Beth, as a matter of fact my Cardiologist reduced the doze from 75 to 50mg, and cramping disappear, doing workouts for about 1.5 hours, daily, will start deep breathing

      Wow, I'm amazed at your workout time per day...you must feel good...is your BP doing good taking Losartan and working out ?  I hope deep breathing helps you too.  Sounds like you're enjoying working out so good for you and stay well kundan96113.  smile
