my 59 year old husband is experiencing leg pain and a feeling like his head is going to expode He does have high blood pressure but I took his blood pressure and it was 147/91. He was recently prescribed Lisinopril and he believes that is the cause of his problem.
Hello, Lisinopril may indeed cause a headache in less than 10% of patients. This is a fairly common side effect. The leg pain and the rise in blood pressure are irrelevant to the Chat Doctor.  On the other hand, any kind of pain may cause the blood pressure to rise. If Lisinopril is causing symptoms then his doctor should prescribe an alternative treatment. Paracetamol usually helps with pain and does not worsen the blood pressure. You should contact his doctor for approval of any change of his treatment. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
