Does Lisinopril Cause Pressure In The Head And Shortness Of Breath?
I started taking lisinopril 10 days ago because of the high blood pressure. I am 65 , female and first time taking blood pressure medicine. Dr gave me 10 mg. My blood pressure was anywhere from 130 to 160 over
60 to 80 . It has come down to 120s or low 130s over 60 to 70
I feel pressure in the middle of my top head sometimes and sometimes shortness of breath which people notice when I talk to them on the phone. Would like to know if these are the side effects of this medicine ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
One of the most common side effects of Lisinopril is headache or pressure in the head.
Less common is shortness of the breath.
If the symptoms continue I suggest you to consult your doctor for an alternative medication.
