Suggest Treatment For Headache And Fatigue While On Lisinopril And Nexium

I have been thirsty despite extra water and cutting down on alcohol intake. I have headaches and somewhat tired. I am carrying about 30lbs more weight than my 5 9 frame should have. I take 40 mg lisinopril daily and 30 mg temazepan to sleep but only getting about 5 hours / night. I take fish oil, visical, multivitamins, and nexium daily. My stool is a brown/khakii color - not bloody - more tinged with a dk khaki green. I have been a drinker in my life, but I have also up until very recently been a big exerciser and healthy eater. I am under a lot of stress - mainly financial. I gave myself a stick urine ketone test yesterday and today and it was negative. I had a full spectrum blood test about 3 months ago and it was OK apart from higher than ave cholesterol. The good cholesterol was high also.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* Dizziness relate to intake of Temazepam which is sedative with anti depressant molecule.
* The headache and fatigue most likely secondary to electrolyte imbalance of potassium or sodium via intake of Lisinopril with action over kidney and afferent arterioles.

Need lab test evaluation for kidney function, electrolytes to guide further precisely in best possible manner.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
