I was just put on 20 mg of Lisinopril. After the 2nd day taking it, I had nausea, vomiting, palpitations, shakiness and was light-headed. Is this a normal reaction or should I stop taking it? I had taken it before I ate and about 2 hrs after I took it, I took excedrin migraine for a bad headache.
Hi, No, these symptoms are not normal after taking lisinopril. Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and other conditions. Its common side effects include low blood pressure, Chat Doctor. Based on the history you seem to have developed low blood pressure apparently caused by a slight high dose of lisinopril.  Ask your doctor for possible dose reduction of lisinopril or an alternate effective medicine. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
