What Causes Low BP While Taking Lisinopril Tablets?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I just began a lisinopril and hydrochiorothiazide pill yesterday for high bloodpressure. I just did my pressure here at home and it reads 116/72. Is it normal to be that low?

Single measures should not prompt concern. Decisions are best made from an average value from a two week span. Too low means that you have symptoms of fatigue or light headedness. Your target depends on other illnesses that you may have but in general is a two week average blood pressure systolic <150 and diastolic <85.
