How Can high Blood Pressure Along With Dizziness Be Treated?

I am a 58 year old male. I have recently had an episode of Hypertension - 179/114 as documented by the ER. My MD. put me on Lisinopril 10mg. I am also taking three or four other meds. I am today constinley having spinning and dizziness in my head and nothing has brought relife. My question is therefore could there be some drug interreaction causing this because my blood pressure does stay in a normal range now?
