What Causes Strange Feeling And Low Blood Pressure After Taking Lisinospril?
Due to a recent blood pressure of 178/92, my Dr put me on Lisinopril 10 mg. Prior to this I had been having an occassional 140/90. I have been under a lot of stress and just recently had surgery. I've been on this medicine less than a week. Today, I don't feel well, a little fuzzy feeling so I took my blood pressure. It is now 108/66. Is this a concern and is this lower pressure why I'm feeling strange?

Hello ,
Part of your blood pressure rise was the stress of surgery , so you might not require higher dose of lisinopril .
The reason for your symptoms is probably higher dose of lisinopril tha required .
Do try maintaining your upper blood pressure above 115 and lover 75 at all times , upper can be till 140 with no problem and lower till 90 .
So just decreasing the dose of lisinopril will make a difference.
