Does Cymbalta Or Lisinopril Intake Result In Vertigo As A Side Effect?

I think I have vertigo. All day I have been very dizzy and feel like everything is spinning around me. I did read that certain meds can cause this. I am on certain medications and wonder if any of them can cause this dizziness. The meds include Cymbalta, Lisinipril, and others.

hi sir/ madam,
welcome to Health Care Magic,

I can certainly understand your concern towards your vertigo,as lisinopril or cymbalta may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting.

These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know about these symptoms and if they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome.

Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor
hope this information would help you.

please post your further questions if any
thank you
