Hi,
Thanks for asking.
The lisinopril is antihypertensive &hydrochlorthiazide is a diuretic &tends to remve edema /water retension in body. Both of them as a combined effect control blood pressure mostly... but during the process.. repeated bp recordings &adjustment of the drugs as per need to get an optimum dose for an individual is needed.
Your blood pressure today morning with above said medicines was117/75..which is a bit lower than normal... this had caused dizziness &tiredness following exercises.this was probably due to higher dose of the medicines
I feel you need reassessment for the blood pressure &suitable dosage of the pills.
Please consult your treating doctor.
Thanks.
