I am taking Lisinopril tab 20mg.and 20mg. of lasix daily and it has me feeling strangely, why??

Question:

Answers:
Well, for one, the medicines you describe do two things. the first slows your heart down to make it more effective as a pump(cause you to feel tired alot, Im guessing)and the other is a diuretic( lower blood pressure by removing intravascular volume, the amount of fluid you have to pump). You may feel lightheaded or dizzy when standing up, feel tired alot.

Other Answers:
Hi.just an added note from another nurse, it could also be an electrolyte imbalance. Either way, you should report your findings to your physician and follow up.

u need a dosage re adjustment or maybe a change of medicine
go see yr cardiologist

The medications your taking has side effects, and that may be causing the feeling. You should check the K+ levels in your body. It also depends if you have any other medical conditions like kidney disease.

Define strangely---if it means light-headed it may be your blood pressure is low due to the combination of the blood pressure med Lisinopril and the diuretic Lasix.
Also, you may have an abnormal electrolyte level from the diuretic, especially potassium, and that can be checked with a blood specimen. Let your MD or RNP know right away.
