Can lisinopril make you dehydrated or have heat exhaustion while working outside in constructon? I am taking 10 mg and today while working I was dizzy, severe muscle cramps in arms, legs and jaw area, I could hardly walk, and felt like throwing up. I had been drinking water all day. I rested for a couple hours in the shade and then felt ok. I have been doing this type of work for over 25 years.
