Hello,

You are suffering hypotension episodes as you describe it. Antihypertensive drugs are causing it and lisinopril you are currently taking maybe is causing it.

You may need to lower the dosage of Lisinopril. You also should be careful when changing position from sitting to standing because it may cause these hypotension episodes.

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

Take care

Regards,
