Hi,
Having lightheadedness with dehydration and giddiness is generally a sign of low fluid in the body or low salt.
As your creatinine is on the higher side chances of same is high. I suggest you drink adequate water and also check your sodium levels. As you had allergy to lisinopril, I'll suggest you to stop it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
