What Causes Dizziness After Taking Lisinopril?
I take Lisinopril. I am 83, in good health except for a sort of dizziness when I rise from a chair and it affects walking. I have recently had a cornea transplant too. This seems to set me off balance somewhat. I am currently in Neurological Therapy but the dizziness persists. Do you think iris the Lisinopril?

Hi
Thanks for asking the question to HCM.
Lisinopril as a potent anti hypertensive and ACE inhibitors.
A steep fall in the blood pressure may occur after the first dose in the subjects with severe hypertensionwho are on multi drug regime( as you stated that you are also taking neurological treatment ).
So just inform your treating doctor about the dizziness and multi drug therapy .
Hope this will be useful for you.
Further if any question I will reply happily.
Good luck.
