What Dosage Of Lisinopril Should I Take For Borderline Blood Pressure?

I was put on Lisinopril 10 mg yesterday as my BP was 162/98. Today it is 111/69, repeated now and now 104/59 is that ok? I Have been on hydrochlorizide for over a year, did not take that today! Should I half the dosage of Lisinopril? I am 70 and approx 5 ft tall and weigh 165, previous history of anxiety, hyperthyroid and now hypo and asthma controlled! Thank you!
