Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lisinopril is a commonly prescribed blood pressure medicines and it doesn’t cause elevated heart rates. Heart rate varies from time to time and depend on other factors. Anxiety and physical exertion can cause elevated heart rate. You have to make sure that the the elevated heart rate is not transient. If the rate is persistently over 100, you have to consult a physician and evaluate.
