A member asked:

Lisinopril works but gives lots of dizziness as a side effect. in general,is this feeling dependent a lot on the amount of milligrams i am prescribed?

Dizziness: In some patients Lisinopril causes disproportionate drop in BP and causes dizziness. If so , discuss with physician and reduce the dose. Consult your physician.
