Suggest Treatment For Dizziness While On Lisinopril
Question: hi,my doc put me on Lisinopril about 6mo ago 10 mg and had just put me on 20 and my bp has been good but now I am feeling dizzy.only been on 20 for about a wk now.will it help if I take 10 in am and 10 in pm or will I get used to the dose
Brief Answer:
it may help
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
dividing the dose may help. Most of the times dizziness is related to either low blood pressure or postural hypotension, so checking for postural hypotension would be helpful. If dividing the dose doesn't help then another agent will have to tried. A diuretic would be a good next option.
Kind Regards!
