Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Lisinopril is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Its use will effect the kidney of the fetus.
As your pregnancy test is negative you are not pregnant despite the symptoms.
But if you are planning to conceive in near future then please consult your doctor regarding changing from lisinopril to safer Drug.
Thanks
