What Causes Dizziness While On Lisinopril For High BP?

I am a male, 62 years of age, 5 8 tall 190 lbs, in good health with the exception of my high blood pressure.I am taking 10mg of lisinopril which is helping my BP to remain in normal limits but I get so drowsy I am challenged in functioning at work. I can t see a doctor for another two weeks due to a restriction of my medical insurance and I have to work. Coffee and tea don t counteract the lisinopril. Is there any problem with taking 5 hour energy boost along with lisinopril?

Hello
If your blood pressure is truly controlled well with the lisinopril then I have no problem with the 5 hour energy boost, but if the caffeine in coffee doesn't help, then it isn't likely the boost will either
