Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Lisinopril is a well tolerated medicine means side effects are very minimal. I do prescribe Lisinopril for many of my O.P patients, i havent seen cases who reported head aches or the weakness.
your symptoms may be due to some other cause. Mean while you can use simply paracetamol which is available OTC to get relief.
