Can Increase Dosage Of Lisinopril Induce Pain In The Feet?
I have been taking Lisinopril Tabs 10 mg 2x/day in the last 6 weeks I have been taking it 3x/day(per my Dr. to try and lower my blood pressure. Since the increase I have experienced achiness in my feet, hands, knees, back etc. Do you think it is the increase? or do you think something else is going on? Also, my blood pressure is down to a better reading. Thank you
