Does Taking Cilazapril And Plendil Cause Stiffness Of Joints?

I am 63 years old and have hypertension. I am currently taking and have been taking for the last 2 years Cilazpril plus and Plendil 5 mgs. I am also taking USANA supplements and having acupuncture in a quest to lower my BP. Since having acupuncture and increasing my relaxation breathing my BP has dropped to 150/80 It was persistently sitting on 180-190/ 84 HR is always around 70
Over the last month or so I am experiencing an increase in stiffness in my ankles and wondering if there could be a build up of the medications creating joint stiffness. Personally I would like to be off the meds vs adding another drug to counteract any side effects I maybe experiencing as a result of the meds. . My question is can these drugs cause joint stiffness? is their a bood test to verify this? thank you June McCarthy
