Hi!
Welcome to HCM!

The main problem listed in your question is apparently not related to Lisinopril.

Usually Lisinopril is used in the treatment of high blood pressure and known to cause dry cough, angioedema (swelling around the lips, etc) hypotension, etc.
Nagging stiff neck may be due to some problem with the muscles, or the nerves. Is the pain radiating to your left shoulder, arm, fore-arm? If so, it could to be due pressure on the nerve in the neck region.
If the neck movements are painful and restricted then it could be due muscle sprain.
Kindly consult your GP to rule out these conditions.
I hope I tried to answer your query.
Regads!
