What Could Cause Light Headed?

Walk 1-2 miles daily with dog. Immediately after stopping I feel sick. Lightheaded, a little sick to my stomach. Sometimes worse than others. Take 5mg of lisinopril once a day for BP. Try to eat well. Take 1200 iu of vitamin d daily and 1200 iu calcium daily. 51 years old 168 pounds.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Light headedness in hypertensive patient can be due to sudden rise or fall in blood pressure.
So better to consult your doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring and stress test (trade mill test) to see for any fluctuations in blood pressure.
If your BP is falling then you should avoid lisinopril.
But if your blood pressure is rising then you may need another antihypertensive drug.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Consult your doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
