Hi,
These symptoms are not common with lisinopril, however, if you didn't feel well with this, there are a number of other drugs that can be used. Like amlodipine, telmisartan and a lot more. You can discuss this with your doctor. The best drug for hypertension is the one that controls BP and is tolerated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
