Should Lisinopril Dosage Be Reduced If Feeling Dizzy When Squatting?

Lisinopril
I take this medication 20 mg daily. I monitor my blood pressure 5-7 times per week. I have seen some of the lowest numbers ...108/65....pulse 64....since I knew I had Bp issues about 8 yrs ago.....45 yrs young now....when I squat or exert myself, very recently, I come close to blacking out....more so from squatting than excertion....I have been eating a very low fat diet for about 4 months now and have lost about 7 pounds....I am 6 ft ...205 lbs.......Do I need to change Bp meds...reduce dosage?.....live with it?....I see a wide range of bp readings depending on time of day....135/86 would be high for me lately....I am a drinker....0 to 7 per day.
