Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should continue with Lisinopril. Propranolol is not a drug of choice for hypertension, although it may lower it. My suggestion is to stop Propranolol and start on Tablet Chlorthalidone once a day. However, if you want to continue Propranolol then change the dose consulting your doctor .
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
