Hi,
These two drugs do not interact to cause blood pressure problems. There is a possibility that your husband's blood pressure has worsened coincidently at the same time as starting Lyrica for his back.
He may need to increase his blood pressure treatment. I suggest you discuss altering his Avapro dose with his doctor.
