Do blood pressure medications cause memory loss? I have checked side affects on both Lisinopril 40 mg and Carvedilol 25 mg. This side affect is not listed however, I have heard that blood pressure medications can cause memory loss. My husbands short term memory stinks lately and he is concerned. He has been taking these for years!
Blood pressure medicals, particularly lisinopril and carvedilol DO NOT cause any memory disturbance. Long-standing hypertension may result in lacuna infants in the, so if your husband is more than 60 years that may be the reason due to long-standing hypertension and not due to any antihypertensive.  However, rapid fluctuations in BP can cause transient memory disturbance.  So make sure blood pressure reading are in small variations.  Regards Chat Doctor.
