What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Lisinopril?

Can lisinopril make you dehydrated or have heat exhaustion while working outside in constructon? I am taking 10 mg and today while working I was dizzy, severe muscle cramps in arms, legs and jaw area, I could hardly walk, and felt like throwing up. I had been drinking water all day. I rested for a couple hours in the shade and then felt ok. I have been doing this type of work for over 25 years.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
lisinopril is used for multiple purposes like in Heart failure , for hypertension , diabetic nephro pathy etc .. it's side effects are hyper kalmia , cough ,angioedema, confusion , dizziness n so on.... as u r working on construction side .. the sweating due to heat are more likely the cause of ur dizziness rather than lisinopril , Bcs it doesn't causes heat exhasuion, it is due to Bcs of sunny day that causes it .. I advice u to drink much mineralated water and also take breaks during work to avoid heat stroke a much dangerous condition of over heating ..
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Regards.
