Hi, welcome to HCM, As we grow older, we develop atherosclerosis or hardening of arteries and hence blood flow to brain may suffer. If the systolic or upper blood pressure is low, the blood flow will further reduce. I would suggest lowering the lisinopril dose to 5mg. Please consult your doctor about this. Regards
