Can Lisinopril And Simvastatin For High BP Cause Ulcer?

I started taking Lisinopril 20mg and Simvastatin 40mg a day to help with my high blood pressure and High cholesteral. I ve been taking them for 6 weeks. I recently had strong stomach pains and went to the ER. They tested all my organs, stool track and gas track. Everything checked out good. The doctor said it is an ulcer. i am under high stress and have about 6 drinks a week and love spicy foods. Do you think my medications have something to do with my Ulcer?

Hello,

As per my knowledge, ulcer is not the side effect of tablet Lisinopril and tablet simvastatin. so continue with these medications. As you say that you love spicy food and drink, so I think it is the reason for ulcer.

I will suggest you to reduce your drink quantity, take a soft diet, do regular exercise, walking after each meal, be stress free. You can tablet Pantoprazole.

If symptoms aggravates, then I will suggest you to do the endoscopy and follow up here with detailed history or consult with surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
