Lisinopril Usage - Occasional Very Low Numbers
UpdatedI am a 64-year old male and I am 6'0 184 pounds. My average blood pressure before i got on Lisinopril 10mg had crept up to "low 140s" over low to mid 80's. Over the last few years the systolic number rose from lower to upper 120's to consistently in the 140's. I started taking 10mg Lisinopril on April 22, 2025 and my blood pressure actually averages right around 122 / 76, so no complaints for my average. I have taken readings every morning since April 22 so, all of MAY, JUNE and JULY and now a few days in August. HOWEVER, I have a number of readings between 99 and 110, many, many more between 110 and 120. Likewise I have many readings between 120 - 130 and a handful of numbers in the 130's. My diastolic numbers have mostly been in the 70's but more frequently in the low 70's and few 69 readings. I mentioned 99 systolic today, with quite a few 10x values. I have shared this data with my presribing physician and he suggested i could change to 7.5mg. Does anyone have experience with gool Lisinopril results when viewing average blood pressure, but that you also may see really low values? I am so happy that my average is great, but I don't like the really low values. ALSO, I take my medicine at about 9:30pm to 10:00pm every night, and measure all of my readings about a half hour after waking up, and before I have eaten anything. I would be interested in hearing from those that have similar results ----- great average, but instead of tight range of numbers, perhaps a spread that includes some numbers that seem too low!
