I read your query and understood your concerns.

First of all you may continue with drinking coffee and with everyday life activities as long as you are symptomless.

In order to give you a more accurate opinion I would like to check all your examinations. Can you please upload these data for me?

Hi back,

My opinion is that you may take the lisinopril, c4 supplement and continue with moderate weight lifting. As long as your BP is arround 140/80 mmHg you shouldn't worry.
