lisinopril

I have been taking 5 mg daily for several years for elevated blood pressure (140 over 80). Up until 7/11, I always had good blood count numbers. Since being diagnosed with MDS my white, red, hemo and platelets remain low. I was shown a study which said lisinopril causes pancytopenia in 25% of patients over 60. My hemotologists said it had no impact and my primary said he would change it for me, but he came up with a beta blocker that could cause night mares and depression. I explained with what I was dealing with, I didn't need any more nightmares or depression.

Has any one heard of this?
