Since the meds that be have moved my blood pressure from pre-hypertensive to hypertensive, I was started on BP meds this past week. As I'm nasty allergic to most diuretics (Stevens Johnson syndrome from sulfa drugs), my doctor put me on lisinopril, which is an ACE inhibitor.
I took the first dose on Saturday. No dizziness, no cough, nothing.
But...
My low grade chronic vascular headache went away, and it's not been back.
Whoa
I checked the lit, and it turns out that in the UK, they are using ACE inhibitors for vascular headaches and migraines that don't react well to standard drug regimens. Well, woo-hoo! I'll take it!
