Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Lisinopril is good for blood pressure. It has no influence on palpitation.

The reason to stop depends on the cause to start.
If there is a problem, one can re-start again - no problem.
It may be wise to reduce the number of medication..

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
