For High Blood Pressure "Been on this drug quinapril for 4 years, have been off balance and dizzy inside my head the whole time on this drug. Works half the time, just wondering if it's the drug causing this off balance dizziness, as I can't think of anything else causing it. It's been a very hard struggle not having my balance, finding a new doctor to take me seriously and figure this out."

For High Blood Pressure "Have been on Quinapril 40 for 22 years. It can cause dizziness, but all in all it has worked well. I currently take 2x a day. If dizzy, get up slowly from a seat or bending over, and it will be less of a factor."

For High Blood Pressure "I have now tried 11 hypertension medicines. I found that quinapril gives me a headache, but not as bad as most of the others. It also makes me dizzy, but not as bad as some of the others. And like all the ACE inhibitors, it does lower my blood sugar some, but not as bad as lisinopril or any of the beta blockers. All of the medicines I've tried have contributed to impotence, but unlike the comments of a previous reviewer, I found that quinapril was the least guilty of the lot. Strangely, since they are both ACE inhibitors, lisinopril is the most guilty."
