What Causes Constant Lightheadedness While On Lisinopril For BP?

Question: I have continued lightheadedness and think it could be my blood pressure medication lisinopril or the paxil I take for my anxiety. I gave up alcohol completely and only have a half cup of coffee 2 to 3 times per week. Hydrating well every day. I have had all the allergy test, no smoking gun and turbinate surgery to help my breathing. Thoughts? Thanks.
Brief Answer:
BP to be controlled. Meds to be evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
yes both of the medications you a are taking may cause lightheadedness. If blood pressure is normal it comes more likely from the paxil. If bp is too low it is more likely from an overdosing of lisinopril.
Please discuss this with your perscribing doc.
