Is Dizziness A Symptom Of Kidney Disease?

I feel slightly dizzy (less so this evening than this morning when I awoke). My bp has been 111/67 & 115/66 when I checked. I take 5/6 mg lisinopril/ hctz per day. I am type II diabetic, but blood sugar is well controlled. Is my bp too low; is there a cause for concern (such as for kidney problems)?

hello,
welcome to HCM.
dizziness is a very common symptom with lisinopril.and your DBP is also low that also may be a cause of dizziness.i should advise you to change lisinopril and take some low dose ARb.and you can discontinue the HCTZ too.
consult your cardiologist too.
hope this is helpful.
regards.
