Lisinopril dizziness
Common Questions and Answers about Lisinopril dizziness
monopril
First doses of lisinopril can cause dizziness due to a drop in blood pressure. Lisinopril can cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, nasal congestion and sexual dysfunction. Lisinopril should be stopped if there are symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction including feelings of swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and hives occasionally occur.
started 10mg lisinopril last month and have noticed a change in vision. In the past I have only required drug store reading glasses for close vision, but now I need them for reading things that are 3 - 5' away. Do your eyes adjust to this med with time, is it just something you should live with or is a change in medication required ?
So Doctor told me to take only 20mg of lisinopril every day. I did. Then, even more serious headaches, dizziness, and feeling like fainting, and high blood pressure.
So Doctor then prescribed Atenolol 25mg per day. One week of trial. Even higher blood pressure around 170/110.
So Doctor then advised that I should take both Lisinopril 30mg in the morning, and Atenolol 25mg at night.
However, this could also be due to some medications such as the combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide that is used to treat high blood pressure. Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) while Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of diuretics. Tingling in the hands and feet along with dizziness, headache and cough are some of the effects that are observed in this drug combination.
There are certain medications that can cause side-effects that cause dizziness. Many heart patients take coreg (beta blocker) and lisinopril (ace inhibitor) that may cause dizziness from low blood pressure, or just as side effects.
Has blood pressure been pressure measured when your grandma is standing up for three minutes? If the standing blood pressure is below 90, that's the cause of the dizziness, and maybe less lisinopril will avoid the dizziness.
s been almost a week since my procedure and beginning the new meds. I have had an increasingly severe headache and dizziness on standing since I got home from the procedure with hot flashes, night sweats and also a low-grade fever last night. Could my symptoms be a result of one of the medicines or combinations?
I am currently taking Lisinopril, 20mg. I take Lisinopril in a.m. without other drugs, vitamins. Within 2 hours and continues throughout the day, I am having overall weakness, cough, dizziness, legs feel like they are shaking inside, although not externally visible. B/P is sometimes 170 / 90 and other times 125 / 70 and anywhere in-between. Is there some other drug to control hypertension which does not have these side effects?
and 2mg of lisinopril. I only take a few supplements, mostly, a multi-vitamin and joint supplement, Mirracle greens, fish oil, CLA and Protien shakes after workouts. The main problem is I have every side-effect from the Coreg. (dizziness,headache,nausea,light headed ness and worst of all I have developed ED because of the meds.) My Cardiologist wants to double my Coreg dosage to 6mg twice daily.
I barely function now as it is, I've been on them for a month. I feel HORRIBLE!!
I recently was diagnosed with the above along with arryhmia and aortic and mitral valve insufficienc. I have low pressure normally so my doctor prescribed 2.5mg of lisinopril. After taking it for 5 nights I've started to experience dizziness when I get up during the night. I also wake up with a dry cough. Tuesday my blood pressure was 86/53.
Is there any other treatment for this "mild" case of cardiomyopthy other than blood pressure lowering medicine?
i have had high blood pressure and have been taking 10 mg of lisinopril for a year as prescribed by my cardiologist... she has done an EKG and an arenal doppler test... everything showed up normal... past few months i have experienced dizziness and shortness of breath... when i take my BP at night it shows my heart rate is in the 40's.. the other night it read 41 bpm... i have just started taking levothyroxine for my hypothryoidism...
I'm 53, until a month ago my BP averaged in the 130/80 range I was working at an about 600 feet above sea level, now I'm working overseas at an altitude of 3800 ft and my BP is now averaging upper 140's/90 range, and has hit 154/94. The local physician has started me on Lisinopril 20mg, after one week no change in BP. How much does altitude affect BP, and will my body acclimate to a point that my BP goes back down, or am I destined to stay on medication?
I have been taking 40 mg lisinopril for 3 months. It works on my BP but I am coughing and my nose is running.
For 6 months, I've felt miserable. It began, however, late last year with scintillating scotoma, arm weakness and tingling, tunnel vision, and a feeling that I was going to faint. These episodes would last 20-30 minutes.
I was episode-free for awhile, then began to feel terrible with flu-like symptoms 6 months ago.
An urgent care nurse practitioner diagnosed me with sinusitis and administered a corticosterioid injection with a round of Clarithromycin antibiotics.
Wife, 89, has history of atril fib and is prescribed lisinopril (40mg), lasix (40mg) and lanoxin (20mg) along with coumadin (5mg) daily. Recent wide-ranging BP/Pulse readings (160's/80's and pulse below 50) led to adding Toprol XL.
First tab last night at bedtime resulted in lowered BP (128/50 and pulse of 41) this AM. Accompanied by inability to urinate (except few drops) for a water drinker.
last year I was experiencing slight dizziness with a weird almost jumpy/falling sensation in my head/eyes when I turned my head. I went to the neurologist and they did an MRI. It came back abnormal and a few months and lots of tests later, the neurologist seems to think I had a small stroke. since then I have good and bad days. I seem to have "episodes" of dizziness (the room doesn't spin, its more of a drunk off balance feeling.
Husband woke up with dizziness, vertigo, vomiting at 3 AM last week. B/P 225/120 ER said he did not have a stroke ( according to CT scan.Can't do MRI due to stents which he got for a 95% blockage to his heart 4 yrs ago.) Cardiologist switched BP meds and B/P going down well on that now.He' still very fatigued, difficulty with spacial perception, walking etc...The Nuero Doc can't see him till May 1st. Any idea what's up with all of this and what kind of treatment we should pursue?
t taken anything tonight. Anyone know what could be causing this dizziness. I have been eating ( that was nver a problem unfortunately) Also I take 10 mg of lisinopril for high blood pressure. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Procardia xl or nifedipine may have side effects such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, tired feeling, sleep problems, mild rash or itching, nausea, diarrhea, mild constipation or stomach pain. It can also cause more serious side effects such as fast heart rate, numbness and even chest pains which warrants immediate medical attention. If these symptoms persist, it is best that you have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
I will guess a beta blocker, and I can say I know BB can have dizziness, suppose even passing out, as an unwanted side effect. However, this is usually, in my experience, because BB lowers the BP too much, easy to fix, lower the dose.
I take BB to lower my HR, and get unwanted lower BP, which has caused some dizziness for me in the beginning, when I wen to high dose levels. I have grown out of that at this point.
I think it unlikely that a BB would cause any heart problems.
I was diagnosed with HBP when I was 28. Originally treated with atenelol, until change of doctor switched me to 30mg Coracten and 20mg lisinopril (13 years ago).
I found the combo effective, regular monitoring showed BP controlled, no side effects.
about 16 months ago I noticed I was getting dizzy, standing up, and dizzy after exercise. I stopped the coracten. Doc confirmed BP ok without coracten.
in 2010 complained of mild dizziness and vertigo. analysis, possibly a result of water in the inner ear. in 2011 neck injury and small nerve damage.(comes and goes both hands, first three fingers go numb) . in 2011 still experiencing dizziness and vertigo (mild). In February 2012 had a small ischemic stroke.(paralysis for 20 min. no lasting effects) In ER miss diagnosis, CT scan was only taken, showing a nasal infection.
20 mg in 7 am , and 20 mg Lisinopril in 7 pm (so total = 40 mg Lisinopril per day). During the day (systolic) hypertension goes 150-160 mmHg and only in 2-4pm it is 130 mmHg (and at 10-12 pm). What should be done for this patient. Maybe trying a diuretic (hydrochlorthiazid) and lowering the dose of Lisinopril? Please tell what do you think of the doses to start trying, how often and when during the day? (P.S.
Lisinopril and Metoprolol when I left the hospital, now Lisinopril and carvedilol (coreg). seems like a relatively common combination.
