Lisinopril 20 Mg Vs Enalapril (Top voted first)
UpdatedThe dr. changed my bp meds. from 20mgs of enalapril twice daily to 20 mgs lisinopril once a day. I'm afraid this is not strong enough to take my bp down. BP runs around 169/90. Had a brain stem stroke 3 yrs ago.

Actually, Lisinopril is known to be stronger and have more beneficial effect than Enalapril, so it is normal to be given a lower dosage of it.

As to your blood pressure numbers, what else do you to do to lower them? Do you get lots of exercise and make sure not to eat a lot of sodium?
Yes I'm on a low sodium diet. As far as exercise, I exercise the arm on the stroke side, but am still really unbalanced as far as walking. Thanks for the answer.
My dr. just changed me from enilapril to lisinopril and plans to reduce the dosage of the verapamil that I take for blood pressure. Is this a valid option.?I also take hctz daily.
