Pediatrician 's  Response
dear user, thanks for your query.
from your history it is not clear why did first doctor start lisinopril.
bye the way it is lowering pressure two much so i suggest decrease its dose to half and then measure blood pressure.
if still blood pressure is low you may stop the drug.
