Lisinopril and headaches

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Mar 23 2009

Q: I have high blood pressure of 160/90-110 but don’t get headaches. My doctor gave me lisinopril and then I started having headaches. The doctor said my body has to get used to it and I should continue taking it. I stopped taking it because I couldn’t stand the pain and the headaches stopped. Should I continue taking it or change dr?

A: High blood pressure needs to be treated. It seems clear that you do not tolerate Lisinopril. Once your doctor is aware you have stopped taking the Lisinopril, it is likely a new drug will be tried.
