Suggest Treatment For Muscle Cramps While On Lisinopril

Hello. Today while doing a lot of walking in heat in the 90 s and high humidy, both legs began to cramp and hurt, I was sweating profusely, and my chest felt heavy. I am on lisinopril medication. I was drinking water but orobanly not enough. I was not feeling well and could barely walk. Is this heat exhaustion?

Hi,

It is not related to Lisinopril or your routine drugs.

Heat exhaustion and dehydration can cause similar symptoms.

As of now drink plenty of water and take rest.

If symptoms persist, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.

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