Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Yes these are some of the side effects of the lisinopril meds. You can surely ask your doctor to change the group of medication.
I would suggest you to change to simpler one like amlodepine 5mg which is a calcium channel blocker or even telmisartan which is angiotensin receptor blocker.
Both above mentioned are equally efficacious like lisinopril.
So you can surely ask your doctor for change in medications.
I hope I have answered your question well.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
thank you
