What Causes Low BP Along With Headache And Stiffness In The Neck?

I was at my dr office earlier this week with high blood pressure. 156/107 I have been given lisinopril - hctz 20-12.5. I started this medication Wednesday afternoon. 1 tablet daily. Today my blood pressure was 89/53 heart rate 90. I have called and left a message for a return call from my dr. But am concerned with head ache and stiff neck and shoulders.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

You report to have a personal history of high blood pressure (bp) (156/107) which is correctly treated with Lisinopril-hctz 20-12.5 as started on Wednesday.

As the today's bp is as low as 89/53, it seems that the meds you are taking has worked to bring your bp back to normal again. However, to my opinion, your bp is not high enough explaining you had decrease in bp at this point. I advise to discuss further with your doctor to change therapy.

Headache you are having are due to decreased blood pressure you are experiencing. That is temporary until your bp will be fully regulated.

Hope this helps.
