Looking for an effective Blood Pressure regimen that does not

The first thing to address is which conditions are being treated by that medication combo? This combination is definitely known to cause dizziness. Depending on what conditions you have, there are several options that could reduce or eliminate the dizziness.

@gerlig is your dizziness just when standing from sitting or from supine to standing or to sitting position or is it all the time? I’m on Lisinopril 10mg for over 20 years with excellent results. You have a water retention issue which is why the HCTZ with the Lisinopril. You could be low on fluid unless you’re on fluid restriction?
Make sure when you go to change any position like sitting or standing don’t do it suddenly. Sit-up from laying position and wait for a 10 count before standing so your blood returns to your head. You also might need a reduction in dose too.

Thank you. The regimen prescribed by Cardiologist is to lower HBP only. Although effective to date (avg. 135/90) the dizziness/imbalance and lack of energy persists when active. Had Ultra-sounds for renal and carotid arteries. Both showed nothing remarkable, precluding any blockages contributing to symptoms. Any suggestions/ alternatives would be appreciated. 🙌

Dizziness occurs when I begin moderate activities like walking dogs or yard work. This regimen is only to control HBP. Cardiologist made no mention of a "water retention issue". Drink plenty of liquids especially in hot weather. I am a 73 yo male, 5'10", 175 lbs. otherwise, consider myself healthy. Had UltraSounds for renal and carotid arteries which showed no blockages contributing to the imbalance. I've been on this regimen almost 2 mo. now with BP avg. 140/90 but side effects persist. Any suggestions/ alternatives? Thanks. 🙌

What is your weight height? Sorry, I now see it where you already posted it....lol

I had to switch from Lisinopril to Losartan. One symptom of an allergy to Lisinopril is dizziness; others are swelling, edema of face, etc..

Do you have diabetes or any heart issues?

One is an ACE and the other is an ARB and the one chosen depends on other factors in your health history.

@gerlig if you’re not having any fluid issues ask your doc to take you off the HCTZ and only try straight Lisinopril. I’m same age BP 117/68 typically and walk 2 miles daily. The dizziness must be rather annoying. Also, ask your provider why he chose Lisinopril with HCTZ, he must have a reason.

Ok... will ask him. Thanks for responding. 🙌

No diabetes or heart problems. Will ask if switching is worth a try. Thanks! 🙌
