Can Hypertension Medicine, Lisinopril, Cause Sinus Infections?
Can lisinopril cause sinus infections?
Age: 65
Ht: 6'
Wt: 185
High BP for several years tried atenolol (nightmares), cardura (ineffective), then linsinopril which was very effective in lowering BP (120s/80s). However after about 2 months developed severe headaches. Temporarily switched to micardis, MRI detected sinus infection, taking cefdinir 300 mg for infection. I like what I read about micardis and want to make a case for staying with it for BP. So is it likely that lisinopril contributed to my sinus infection?
