Anyone take lisinopril and coreg together?


Question:
I take coreg 6.25mg 2x/day with lisinopril 1x/day at bedtime. Sometimes they make me very,very tired and drop my sys 100-105 and pulse to 57-63. Any help?

Answers:
Lisinopril is an ACE Inhibitor and Coreg (carvedilol) is a alpha1-beta blocker. They can be prescribed separately or together in controlling hypertension (elevated blood pressure). From what you're describing, it appears that you may have too much of the medication and needs titration to a lower dose so your blood pressure can be a little higher. A low blood pressure can cause fatigue. An ideal blood pressure is systolic 120 and diastolic 60. You should mention your fatigue to your doctor. If he determines that your fatigue is due to the low blood pressure, he can adjust your medication accordingly. However, your fatigue may not be from the blood pressure medication at all so don't stop taking your medications until you see your physician.
