Common Enalapril Side Effects in People With High Blood Pressure

Enalapril has been studied extensively in clinical trials, with thousands of people worldwide having been evaluated. In these studies, side effects are always documented and compared to side effects that occur in a similar group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
 
Based on these studies, the most common side effects of enalapril seen in people with high blood pressure include:
 
  • Headache -- in up to 5.2 percent of people
  • Fatigue -- up to 3 percent
  • Dizziness -- up to 4.3 percent.
