Brief Answer:
Common side effects of lisinopril

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Lisinopril is known of having side effects such fatigue and extreme tiredness. Also gives dizziness and weakness.
I think you may need to lower the daily dosage of lisinopril in order to get rid of these side effects.
Also every day exercise and mostly aerobic exercise can help you to cope with fatigue.
Also maintain a healthy diet.
Try not to rise suddenly from a sitting position and use support.

Hope I have answered the question . Let me know if I can assist you further
