Dr changed me from Lisinopril to Amlodipine w/Losartan. Had no problem with Lisinopril except pressure was unstable but not that bad. Was changed to Amlodipine w/Losartan. About a yr later I started having dizzy spells, lightheaded, just feeling off. Didn’t know if it was from Eliquis. Was changed to Xarelto and stopped taking both blood thinner and hbp med. Pressure shot up to 160’s over 100 and 90’s for a couple of days. Took clonidine it came down. Was put on Amlodipine w/Valsartan. Didn’t take the blood thinner anymore. I still get dizzy periodically but most days feel lightheaded or just off. I am an ovarian cancer patient, kidney disease, pancreatic insufficiency and diverticulosis. Just wondering if anybody else experiences the dizzy, lightheaded, off feeling?

Hi, I had the same experience with Losartan and Amlodipine. Both were making me lightheaded and dizzy. Losartan is known to cause brain fog and fatigue, although it works well for some people. Eliquis had the same side effects. Any and all of these medications can cause the symptoms you have described. The more medications are taken together, the more side effects. If single agent Lisinopril worked for you, that may still be a possibility. It all depends on personal tolerance and your doctor's decision.
