Can Facial Flush Be Related To Lisinopril Taken For Hypertension?
I currently take Lisinopril for hypertension. I feel i suffer from something that causes my face to get flushed easily, like I am easily embarrassed. I have noticed when i skip my Lisinopril, I don t have the flushing issue. Can they be related? If not how can I fix the embarrassed look, I feel its taking control over aspects of my life.

Hi,
Based on the history facial flushing (cutaneous vasodilation) seems to be due to an adverse effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopril.
I suggest you to stop lisinopril and take an alternate effective but a safer medicine for hypertension after consulting your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
