What Causes Dizziness In An Elderly Person After Taking Lisinopril Post Stroke?
I am 83 years old. Was very active until I had a stroke 7/15/15. Kayaking was a favorite. Stroke affected my speach only. Was told it was a 2 out of 10. Was on Simvastatin 10 mg for years & occasionally took Calcium withVit D3. After all necessary blood tests, MRI etc. doctor prescribed Lisinopril 10 mg. After a few weeks I almost passed out one morning. Blood pressure at pharmacy was 78 71 80. On 11/19 a call to doctor resulted to cut Lisinopril to 5 mg. Muscle aches progressed to the point that I can hardly move to get out of bed in mornings & continue to present. Jane Carling
