Can Lisinopril Be The Cause Of My Leg Weakness
Updated
Terry Says:
Have been taking lisinopril, 1st was 10mg, then increased to 20Mg, and last year decreased to 10mg. Mid last year diagnosed with Lymphoma stage 3, and began chemo rchop, through out treatment I felt weak, and 3 months after treatment still weak, dr said ok, but it got worse, could hardly stand up. About 4-5 months ago, I took some turmeric, ginger tea (seen in Dr Oz) and 2 days later developed heaviness in left leg and the numbness I had got worse. Then recently, increased Vitamin D3 from 1000 to 2000 per Dr advice and are getting dizzy constantly. I checked internet, so I stopped both immediately about 2 weeks ago. I want to go back with vitamin D3 1,000 but I still have dizziness and the leg heaviness which had gotten better a few weeks ago, is back on again. Should I discontinue for good the lissinopril, and why didn't my oncologist make any connections before?

Honestly, in such a scenario, it can be difficult to be sure why someone is experiencing such symptoms. Yes, it could be due to the Lisinopril, but it could also be due to the chemotherapy, residual effects of the cancer itself, or something entirely related to any of these factors, according to NIH reports.
What condition are you taking the Lisinopril to treat? It would be best not to discontinue it, without your doctor's approval. However, there are other medications you may be able to try.
