Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your concern, I would explain that the fever does not seem to be related to Lisinopril adverse effects. But it could be related to a possible infection, considering the fact that you have also diarrhea. If these complaints persist, I would recommend switching to another drug like a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine, lercanidipine) which you may tolerate better compared to Lisinopril.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
