BP med side effects: Some people are more responsive than others to certain blood pressure medications. It is possible to be getting 'too much' medication and have 'too low' of a treated blood pressure. Cough is side effect of Lisinopril too. Cough & low blood pressure could indicate a more serious problem: pneumonia or cancer. If you think you are having side effects or feeling back you should seek medical care.

Cough on lisinopril: Cough is side effect of lisinopril. Normally, this cough is at night and is not seen with sputum. I would tell your doctor about this and he would probably tell you to stop that drug. If the cough goes away in two days, do not re-start it. You need to see a doctor to find out why you're dizzy and weak. It could be caused by some factors, such as a low hb level orblood pressure. See your md asap.
